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. 3 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. Garry Taylor, Chair 5 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.

Purchased with funds from public donation, 2013 7 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. 8 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. Gordon Monro, President 9 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 11 Donations, Gifts and Bequests Giving to an art gallery is not just an act of generosity, it is a powerful expression of your own personality, recognisable for generations to come. The generosity of individual donors has the power to transform art institutions, bringing a lasting benefit to their communities and creating a lasting memorial to the giver. Adopt an Artwork This program gives individuals or groups the opportunity to contribute towards the conservation treatment and maintenance of artworks in the Art Gallery of Ballarat Collection. 12 Contributions during 2012–13: Silver donations $5,000 up to $25,000 The Courier, Fairfax Media Group The Davies family Mrs Ridsdale in memory of her husband, Leonard Darrell Ridsdale Michael Stubbs Bronze dontations $1,000 up to $5,000 Art Gallery of Ballarat Women’s Association Australian Catholic University Barrie Coltman Val Newman Ruth Rentschler John & Voi Williams Dr Jeff Woodger 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).

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.

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.

New printing techniques allowed prints to be coloured mechanically, resulted in a boom in botanical art which lasted into the 20th century.

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. Kindergarten students from Ballarat Grammar being introduced to Capturing Flora by Education Officer Michael Nichols, October 2012. 58 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.
