Ballarat International Foto Biennale
There's a goldmine of photographic talent to be found in Victoria's country towns.
Overview
Playing host to over 200 local and international artists' work, Ballarat has transformed from a sleepy little town into a busy hub of photography over the past few weeks. Running until September 15, the Ballarat International Foto Biennale (BIFB) is showcasing a vast selection of works — the core program is comprised of the best artists around and the Fringe exhibition encourages the general public to submit their own work to the festival. Over 73 venues and 206 events you can see anything from workshops on night photography to seminars on trends in traditional and alternative photography to guided tours that offer an insight to the history of the surroundings alongside the abundant artwork.
The core program includes works from Erika Diettes, Elisabeth Zeilon, John Cato and Doc Ross. Showcasing many artists who might not be receiving the attention they deserve yet, this line up seems to offer an energizing and exciting combination of exhibitions that make it well worth the trip.
