Chair’s Report
When developing the Strategic Plan for the incoming Art
Gallery of Ballarat Board of Directors, considerable time was
devoted to identifying both the Vision and the Mission to
guide our work. It is worth noting what both these state:
Vision:
The Art Gallery of Ballarat will be recognised for
inspiring, stimulating, enriching and challenging
the lives and experiences of those who come within
through its rich and diverse presentation of visual
arts.
Mission:
To foster and enrich the cultural life of our City, our
region and the Nation by acquiring, conserving and
presenting a great collection of art.
With the completion of the inaugural Strategic Plan the
Board of Directors, through the work of the Director and the
Gallery team, have remained committed to the Vision and
Mission. A review of the exhibition schedule, the extensive
conservation program and acquisition program during this
report period are testimony to this commitment.
Whilst it can be said that much of the work of the Art
Gallery of Ballarat Board lacks the glamour of the exhibition
openings, it has been a very satisfying period in terms of
achievement. As the inaugural Board has commenced
implementing the Strategic Plan, considerable work has
needed to be undertaken around policy, finance planning
and budget delivery, and strategic partnerships. Internally
it has been important to align the Board’s directions with
those of the Art Gallery of Ballarat Foundation and the
Ballarat Fine Art Gallery Association and to utilise the
tremendous resources within these bodies to advance key
areas of the Strategic Plan. The Board greatly appreciates the
4
support of these organisations.
Two very significant agreements were signed off on behalf
of the Art Gallery of Ballarat Board during this period
of reporting. These were the Service Level Agreement
between the Board and the City of Ballarat and the Terms
of Loan for the Flag of the Southern Cross (Eureka Flag). The
latter agreement enabled the loan of the flag to the newly
established Museum for Australian Democracy at Eureka
(M.A.D.E). Contained in this agreement is the formation of
the sub-committee, with members drawn from the Boards
of both institutions, to monitor the loan of the flag.
The Art Gallery of Ballarat Board of Directors has taken a
proactive approach to developing strategic relationships
both within Ballarat and beyond. A regular meeting
schedule has been established with Ballarat Regional
Tourism and a Western Victoria Regional Galleries
forum has been initiated, along with joint professional
development programs for Directors operating in Not For
Profit organisations. A framework for philanthropic support
has been developed with the support of the Art Gallery
of Ballarat Foundation. During his address at the Adopt
an Artwork program dinner in late 2012 (see image right),
Rupert Myer AC commented on the importance of galleries
being ‘philanthropic prepared’ for the future.
The Board of Directors has been similarly proactive in
developing strategic alliances with other galleries of similar
stature. To this end, through the support of the Ferry
Foundation, the Gallery Director undertook an extensive
international trip visiting galleries and meeting with
Directors and key international art consultants to identify
opportunities that will enhance the exhibition schedule.
There will be some exciting developments ahead for the
Gallery as a result of the Director’s comprehensive travel
program. Consistent with the Gallery’s Vision and Mission,
there is a conscious effort to find an alternative model from
the ‘blockbuster’ pre-packaged imports with their potential
for high risk and compromise.
Capturing Flora epitomised the Gallery’s Mission and the
Gallery’s direction. This extraordinary exhibition was a truly
remarkable event, with every element developed and
delivered ‘in house’—a credit to the Director and his small
team. It attracted tremendous national interest and critical
acclaim and outstanding attendances. The magnificent and
comprehensive catalogue has become a major reference
in botanical circles. The exhibition was complemented by
an attractive gift shop offering and a wonderful education
program. Components of this extensive exhibition have
travelled interstate and with more tours confirmed in the
coming year.
I conclude this report by taking the opportunity of thanking
the very committed and skilled Gallery staff for their
dedicated work, along with the various volunteer groups
who so ably support and champion the Gallery. These
include the Gallery Guides and the Women’s Association.
The 129 year old Ballarat Fine Art Gallery Association, with
its membership close to 2000, continues its strong tradition
of support, as does the Art Gallery of Ballarat Foundation.
Likewise the work of the Gallery Education Officers once
again registers record numbers of students attending a
regional gallery in Australia.
Finally I thank my fellow Art Gallery of Ballarat Board of
Directors for their dedicated work in implementing the
Strategic Plan and governance compliance.

Director’s Report
This past year was dominated by Capturing Flora: 300 years
of Australian botanical art — our largest and most ambitious
exhibition ever, given the number of works included, the
size of its catalogue, and its visitation and wider impact.
The exhibition explored a genre that had never been
examined or celebrated before by an Australian art gallery
and the Gallery was widely acclaimed for undertaking it.
The catalogue has received rave reviews in Australia and
overseas as well as a shortlisting for a prestigious award in
the United States and has gone into a second edition in
partnership with a commercial publisher.
In recent years this Gallery has been faced with a challenge
of how to present itself to its own community and to the
wider Australian public. Do we go down the path of the
German Kunsthalle and simply present pre-packaged
touring exhibitions bought in from outside or do we
mount our own exhibitions? If the latter, do we source the
component works from within the collection or from other
lenders? An even more fundamental question is whether we
are primarily about serving our community or are meant to
be a vehicle that generates tourist activity and revenue?
Capturing Flora, and indeed exhibitions like the cartoon
exhibition In your face!, represent an important part of the
Gallery’s response to these questions. We haven’t shied away
from presenting exhibitions which have popular appeal,
but we have applied the highest principles of scholarship
and design to our projects. Most importantly, we have
developed most of our exhibitions ‘in-house’ rather than
buying them in from outside. Wherever possible, these
exhibitions have been grounded within this collection.
Eighty-five per cent of the works in Capturing Flora came
from the Gallery’s Collection. That means that the research
6
and conservation undertaken to present these shows
directly benefits the Collection.
We haven’t abandoned our community either. As the
listing of exhibitions will show, no fewer that eight shows
happened under the aegis of Supporting Local Artists.
I would like to single out another exhibition from this same
period which is also worthy of note. Got the message? 50
years of political posters, curated by local art historian Geoff
Wallis, was another landmark program which I believe
added significantly to scholarship about the art of the
poster. The show brought out on display an inspiring and
challenging body of work from Australia, France, United
States, China, Poland, and South Africa.
These are exhibitions that matter, and this Gallery is now
widely recognised for developing a dynamic program that is
studded with offerings of this calibre.
Last November we launched the second phase of the Adopt
an Artwork program. The primary aims of this relaunch were
to conserve the paintings on the wall overlooking the grand
staircase and to start providing our extensive collection of
paintings by members of the Lindsay family with frames that
are appropriate to the period in which they were created.
The results have been spectacular and I am pleased to
say that before the end of 2013 every painting currently
hanging on the staircase will have been treated and the
extensive holding of works by members of the Lindsay
family will also have been conserved and reframed, ready to
be hung in a much more impressive display.
Towards the end of the financial year we also launched a
Bequests Campaign. One only has to look at the credit lines
on the paintings throughout the Gallery to see how funds
left as legacies have transformed the Collection. However,
bequests do not have to be confined to the purchase of
works of art. A bequest can be a very personal way of linking
one’s name with some aspect of the mission of the Gallery.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and
thank my staff. Some of the projects that we brought off this
year were frankly almost more than such a small staff could
manage. Capturing Flora involved everyone both ‘front and
back of house’. During its set up most of us turned into Flora
Zombies. It was fun but it was very taxing.
I would also like to thank the Board of Directors and in
particular Chair Garry Taylor for their constant support, not
just of me, but of all Gallery staff. Similarly thanks are due
to Jeff Pulford, Director of Destinations and Economy at
the City of Ballarat. The Ballarat Fine Art Gallery Association
and particularly its president Gordon Monro continue to
provide excellent support to the Gallery in many of its
endeavours, especially through its participation in the
Board’s Acquisitions Sub-committee and through its hosting
of so many of the social events that are an integral part of
the life of an art gallery.

Foundation Report
This year has been a time of considerable change for
the Foundation. It has seen the winding up of the Ferry
Foundation and its incorporation into the Art Gallery of
Ballarat Foundation and as a result we have welcomed
Robyn Ferry on to the Foundation as a Trustee. We have
also welcomed another two new Trustees in Mark Guirguis
and Vicki Coltman. Their interest and enthusiasm gives the
Foundation a great team for the future.
In November 2012 the Foundation hosted a dinner to relaunch the highly successful Adopt an Artwork initiative.
This program, which was established in 2008, has proven to
be a very successful fundraiser towards the conservation of
artworks—one only needs to walk into the Oddie Gallery
and marvel at the splendour in that room to appreciate
how important it is to have money to maintain our valuable
collection. The re-launch was intended to reinvigorate
this program and it has certainly done that. Our Director,
Gordon Morrison, has a very long list of works that need
conservation, so it is wonderful to be able to assist in this
important work.
In May this year, the Foundation launched its Bequest
program with a brochure produced and distributed to
solicitors, accountants and financial planners in Ballarat and
beyond. This has generated some interest, but of course
it can be some time before we receive any direct benefits
from such a program. Only time will tell.

Association Report
The Trustees of the Foundation were also invited by the Art
Gallery Board of Directors to the inaugural Western Victorian
Regional Galleries Forum. This event proved to be a very
informative evening and we hope it will be the first of many.
We congratulate the Board on this initiative.
The Foundation has been able to help the Gallery financially
in a variety of ways over the last twelve months including
contributing to the production of a catalogue for the
exhibition For the Love of Art: 25 years of guiding at the
Gallery, the Bequest Brochure production, the production
of a promotional folder to be used in helping to gain
sponsorship and also provided funding for the Director to
travel overseas on a research trip investigating prospects for
future major exhibitions.
I would also like to acknowledge the contribution to the
work of the Foundation of Bruce Thomas, who passed away
earlier this year. Bruce audited the Foundation books since
it was established in 1998. He generously provided this
essential service in a voluntary capacity and we are very
grateful for his long-term commitment to our work.
I look forward to working with all the Trustees in growing
the Foundation to help support the Art Gallery of Ballarat
into the future.
Jane Cowles, Chair
During the year the Association has been settling into its
new relationship with the Gallery, as the new Gallery Board
puts its policies and processes into place. As the incoming
President of the Association, I have also been learning about
the wide range of activities connected with the Gallery and
the intricate organisational structures that help to make
these activities possible.
On behalf of the Association, I wish to congratulate the
Gallery Director and all the staff for the extensive and
varied exhibitions and events they have put on during the
year, including the wonderful Capturing Flora exhibition, a
landmark of Australian botanical art and botanical art about
Australia. I didn’t know that Napoleon’s Empress Josephine
had a significant collection of Australian plants, as well as
kangaroos and black swans.
The Association organised an Indoor Garden Party in honour
of the Capturing Flora exhibition. It also ran regular bus
trips to Melbourne for tours of some major exhibitions at
the National Gallery of Victoria, and it arranged Behind the
Scenes tours of the Gallery for new Members — I wish to
thank Gallery staff, and in particular Anne Rowland and
Gordon Morrison, for making their time available for these
tours.
During the year, the Association provided funds for the
purchase of three significant works in memory of Dr Greg
Binns, art lecturer, teacher and mentor to many, lover of the
Australian bush, past President of the Association, Gallery
Guide and a great friend of the Gallery. The works, chosen
on the Association’s behalf by Gallery Director Gordon
Morrison, recall some of Greg’s many interests.
Another exhibition drawing heavily on the Gallery’s own
collection was the exhibition of political posters, Got the
Message?. Apart from being a substantial achievement for
the Gallery and its staff, this exhibition drew on the private
collection and the specialised knowledge of Geoff Wallis,
Lecturer and subsequently Research Fellow at the University
of Ballarat.
This year marks the twenty-fifth year of service of the Gallery
Guides, who are independent of the Association but work
closely with it. I wish to pay tribute to their hard work and
professionalism, especially evident with the demanding
schedule of exhibition tours they put on for Capturing Flora.
I also wish to thank the members of the Association Council
and the various committees for their work during the year,
and for their advice and guidance for a new President.
A significant event for our members was the moving of the
Flag of the Southern Cross (Eureka Flag) to the new Museum
of Australian Democracy at Eureka (M.A.D.E). Under the
loan agreement made with the Gallery, all Members of the
Association may view the Flag at M.A.D.E free of charge.

Gallery Guides Report
It has been an exciting, rewarding and special year for the
Gallery Guides as we celebrate a remarkable twenty-five
years of guiding.
We currently have a very committed and vibrant group
of forty-four Guides, after fifteen new trainees graduated
with flying colours from their year-long training program
in December 2012. Trainees are carefully matched with a
senior Guide and then embark on a program of intense
research, observation, and oral presentations. Our newest
members continue to delight us with their great knowledge,
enthusiasm and camaraderie.
As well as providing visitors with our regular afternoon
tours of the permanent collection all year round, the Guides
provide tours for booked groups and for special exhibitions.
To look at a single month as an example, in October
2012, we provided extra tours for a Liberal Party cocktail
function, the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, GroupLink tours,
Ballarat Southern Cross Probus and Friends of the Hamilton
Art Gallery. From 26 September to 2 December 2012, we
conducted daily morning tours and special group tours of
the Capturing Flora exhibition. These tours were very well
attended and we enjoyed every single minute with our
knowledgeable visitors. We also provided special Stories of
Entertainment tours during Heritage Weekend in May 2013.
Our education program is paramount to the success of the
guiding group. We approach this through our own planned
education days, visits to other galleries, the Art Insights
lunchtime talk program and sharing of our research into
the collection. In August 2012 the guides participated in a
wonderful Eureka education session, led by Bob Allan (see
image right). We have had many marvellous education
sessions with arts professionals such as Anne E Stewart on
storytelling, and Julianne Eveleigh on voice and posture.
10
Our trips are educational in their focus—we have visited
many galleries throughout the year, including a trip to Heide
Museum of Modern Art in 2012 to see the Danila Vassilieff
exhibition, with a wonderful talk by Felicity St John Moore.
We also visited the Monet exhibition at the National Gallery
of Victoria, which was preceded by a very informative
introductory talk.
The Gallery Guides are proud to be forging strong
relationships with our regional colleagues. In March we
visited Ararat Regional Art Gallery, where Director Anthony
Camm and his team made us feel very welcome while
showing us through the Lorraine Connelly-Northey
travelling exhibition. We visited the Bendigo Art Gallery in
April 2013 and were shown the highlights of the permanent
collection and took part in group discussions around gallery
guiding. In May we hosted the Bendigo Art Gallery Guides
who were particularly interested in seeing our Modern and
Contemporary collections and in touring the Guirguis New
Art Prize.
The monthly Art Insights program of lunchtime talks is a
highlight on our yearly calendar and gives us an opportunity
to collaborate with the University of Ballarat Arts Academy,
who run the talks during May and August. This wellattended program is carefully planned by the Gallery Guides
committee, Gallery staff and the University of Ballarat.
The list of speakers is varied and includes our own Gallery
Guides, as well as visiting guests and artists.
In May 2013 twelve Guides attended A capital collection: art
for the nation. This was the nineteenth National Conference
of Art Gallery Guides, held at the National Gallery of Australia
as part of the celebrations for the Centenary of Canberra.
At the conference we were treated to a comprehensive
series of presentations on our national cultural institutions
— Ron Radford from the National Gallery of Australia,
Andrew Sayers from the National Museum of Australia,
Sarah Engledow from the National Portrait Gallery, Margy
Burn from the National Library of Australia and Sasha Grishin
from the Australian National University. Our thanks go to
the Gallery Association for contributing to the cost of our
travelling to this marvellous event.
This year it is twenty-five years since our first Convenor,
Margaret Martin, and her team began guiding duties at the
Art Gallery, and during this time the Guides have continued
a strong tradition of camaraderie, inspired and sustained
by our love of art. This milestone will be celebrated with an
exhibition, highlighting works that we see as central to the
collection and our guiding story, with accompanying trail
and catalogue. This is a great tribute to the hard work of our
many past and present volunteers.
My sincere thanks go to my wonderful and very hardworking committee who design and maintain all aspects of
our yearly program, and each and every Gallery Guide who
dedicates so much time, knowledge and passion for the
love of art and the Art Gallery of Ballarat.
Pauline O’Shannessy-Dowling, Convenor

Over the years, the Art Gallery of
Ballarat has benefitted from the
generosity of members of the
community and many of the Gallery’s
most famous artworks have been
acquired as the result of donations,
gifts and bequests. Hans Heysen’s The
three gums, Tom Roberts’ A summer
morning tiff and E Phillips Fox’s A love
story were acquired in this way in the
past, while more recent examples are
Rick Amor’s Study for the dry season,
Brett Whiteley’s Portrait of Richard
Neville and Jeffrey Smart’s The listeners.
Donations, gifts or bequests
do not have to go towards the
acquisition of works of art, but can
include conservation work, support
of publications or establishing
community programs. The variety of
ways in which your contribution can
have a lasting impact is almost endless.
Gifts to the Gallery can be made
through the Art Gallery of Ballarat
Foundation, a Charitable Fund whose
role is to assist the Gallery with specific
projects or acquisitions.
The Art Gallery of Ballarat is a Not for
Profit Company Limited by guarantee
which has Charitable Institution status
and is endorsed by the Australian
Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift
Recipient (DGR).

The Jenny Zimmer Collection
Retired book publisher Jenny Zimmer
has given the Gallery her personal
collection of artists’ books and limited
editions. These are books which she
has designed, edited, written and
produced, either through her own
press or in collaboration with artists
and through Macmillan Publishers.
Any book she did not commission
personally were gifts to her because of
her involvement with book-making.
The collection has many connections
to the Gallery’s existing holdings:
twenty artists already in the Collection
are presented in a new way, either as
formal publications about them or via
their hands-on involvement in making
the book. Eighteen artists are new to
the Collection, along with many new
names involved with publishing and
the book bindings.
This outstanding donation is as much
about connoisseurship — in this case
of a very important figure in Australian
art publishing — as it is about
the individual component books.
Connoisseurship is central to the
collecting of any major art museum
and this is an excellent example.

Capturing flora: 300 years of Australian botanical art
Over 350 of these works came from the Art Gallery of
Ballarat’s own collection, with the remainder being sourced
directly from practising botanical artists and from leading
public collections, including State and National Galleries,
Libraries and Herbaria. In preparation for the exhibition,
the Art Gallery of Ballarat devoted a percentage of its
acquisitions budget to purchasing historical botanical art, in
the process building up one of the largest holdings of this
genre in the nation.
It would be fair to say that this was the most ambitious
and the most successful exhibition ever to be presented at
the Art Gallery of Ballarat. In terms of themed exhibitions it
has set a benchmark which will be difficult to outdo. Total
visitation to the exhibition was 18,888.

VISITOR COMMENTS
“Beautifully done, bigger than I expected. Not too crowded,
staff very friendly/helpful. The exhibits were stunning.”
“Even better than we thought – as the exhibition was very
extensive. Well set out and easy to view”
“Loved the historical context of the exhibition. Truly
educational and beautiful”
“Varied fascinating display”
k
Comprising more than 480 examples of images of Australian
plants dating from 1703 to the present day, this exhibition
was by far the most extensive documentation and display
on this theme ever to have been attempted in this country.

MICHAEL SHANNON:
A ROMANTIC REALIST
Newcastle Art Gallery
30 June – 12 August 2012
This exhibition of works by Michael
Shannon, including his compelling
cityscapes, surveys the process and
evolution of Shannon’s signature
aesthetic. An artist largely overlooked
by the mainstream since his death in
1993, this exhibition focuses on the
works of a vital artist documenting the
changing face of Australian suburbia.
Newcastle Art Gallery, Australia’s first
purpose built regional gallery, was
opened in1977. Today the Gallery
has 6100 works of art in its collection
and it is considered as one of the
most significant public collections
in Australia. Newcastle is the second
oldest and sixth largest city in Australia.

CAPTURING FLORA:
PASSION FOR THE EXOTICK
SH Ervin Gallery, Sydney
15 February – 17 March 2013
This major exhibition examines the
way in which Australia’s amazing
and diverse flora has been recorded,
interpreted and popularized by
botanical artists, in particular the
period associated with the promotion
of these new ‘exotick’ plants in Britain
and Europe. New printing techniques
allowed prints to be coloured
mechanically, resulted in a boom in
botanical art which lasted into the
20th century.
SH Ervin Gallery is one of Sydney’s
leading public art institutions housed
in the historic National Trust Centre
on Observatory Hill, The Rocks. The
Gallery’s program explores the richness
and diversity of Australian art.

With contributions from five different essayists, as
well as a foreword from the eminent botanist Alex
George, this publication broke new ground in terms
of its appraisal of the genre. It was received with
great critical acclaim and was nominated for a prize
for botanical excellence from the prestigious Hunt
Institute, Harvard University. The first print run sold out
and was reprinted in April 2013.

Education Report
The Art Gallery Education Programs
are designed as a support for the
school curriculum and offer a unique
learning experience. Schools from
the Ballarat region and beyond
are able to experience a range of
designed tours and workshops based
around the Permanent Collection
and temporary exhibitions as well as
individual partnership programs which
support student learning beyond the
classroom.
This year almost 10,000 students and
teachers took part in Gallery Education
programs. The Gallery is lucky to be
able to enjoy a close relationship with
schools within the region and the
number of regular users from across
the State and beyond also continues
to grow.
The Gallery Education programs are
promoted through a range of different
media from the A2 posters to direct
email contact that regularly inform
teachers about ongoing and special
programs on offer.

The annual Next Gen exhibition
continues to showcase the work of
young emerging artists in the broader
Ballarat region. This exhibition provides
a valuable resource for students as well
as an endorsement of their hard work.
Current students benefit from the
opportunity to view work and support
folios by the previous year’s graduating
students, giving them insights to the
year ahead. This exhibition is always
impressive for the depth of skills and
artistic talents being developed by
young artists under the guidance of
the region’s devoted secondary art
teachers.
This year saw the production of an
extensive Education Resource to
support the Capturing Flora exhibition,
supported by a generous donation
from the Bjarne K Dahl Trust. This
publication will continue to be
available in hard copy and digitally
as an ongoing resource for schools.
This major exhibition enabled the
Education Officers to develop
further links across the curriculum
by offering science-based tours and
workshops as supporting workshops.
Teachers also had the opportunity to
undertake workshops with two of the
exhibiting artists. Over 1,500 students
and teachers visited Capturing Flora,
with 500 taking part in The Scientific
Eye workshops which were run in
conjunction with the exhibition.
Most students were from schools in
the Ballarat region, however schools
from Melbourne also took part in the
program.
During National Reconciliation Week,
between Monday 27 May and Sunday
3 June 2013, nearly 500 students
worked with two Indigenous artists,
two non-Indigenous artists and
Gallery Education Officers on the
project Bunjil’s World, which was a
development of the successful Bunjil’s
Nest project from last year. Students
were introduced to the story of Bunjil
the Eagle, the creator spirit of the Kulin
Nation, of which the local Wathaurung
people are a part. They then toured
the Living Traditions exhibition of
art based on spiritual beliefs and
discussed traditional Indigenous
belief systems and the importance of
connection to country before taking
part in an art workshop. All students
contributed towards the creation of
a large scale, three-dimensional art
installation based on an eagle’s eye
view of the country of the Wathaurung
people, using a range of art-forms to
create components of the landscape.
This program was supported by the
City of Ballarat through the Koorie
Engagement Action Group (KEAG) and
the City’s People and Communities
Division, by Highlands Local Learning
and Employment Network (LLEN), and
by GoldBus.
The Art Gallery has continued to
host the Eureka Education program
during the establishment of Musuem
of Australian Democracy at Eureka
59
(M.A.D.E) and this has proved to be
a successful partnership program.
The Gallery will continue to offer a
Eureka-focused experience, including
the popular Hall of Debate role-play
activity, as part of our Early Ballarat
program.
