Arthur Creative, Ballarat

Melba’s Arthur Creative is based in beautiful Ballarat and offers a range of arts-based workshops for both emerging and established artists living with disability.

It offers a safe place for people to express themselves, in their own way, and supports those whose dream it is to pursue a creative pathway.

These popular workshops involve everything from exploring the visual arts, performing arts, film and photography to screen printing and product development, plus many other artistic pursuits. Our artists also get the chance to show and sell their artwork at various local events, arts festivals and gallery pop-ups. We even hold our own pop-up markets to showcase products as part of the Arthur Creative range.
