Now Open: Expressions of Interest for New Commission
Reimagining public space through temporary sculpture, story, and community.
The Ballarat Empty Plinth Project is an annual public art initiative inviting artists to create temporary sculptural works for display in Ballarat’s Intercultural Gardens. The City of Ballarat works closely with Multicultural Arts Victoria (MAV) to deliver this project, that fosters contemporary responses to place, ecology, identity and belonging through artist-led approaches.
Each year, a new artist is commissioned to present a site-responsive work, sparking dialogue between people, community and the natural environment. The project is part of the City of Ballarat’s Temporary Public Art Program and forms a dynamic platform for creative voices to animate public space.
