WHAT'S ON

Gordon Monro is an artist who makes images from data. He has used data about the 1854 Eureka Stockade to generate imagery from the mathematical fragmentation of an eight-pointed Eureka star.

'People Watching' is an exhibition of large-scale photographs by Clement Hong Yui Chan that capture scenes of everyday life in his home city of Hong Kong.

In 2014 Ballarat community members created a replica Eureka Flag that was raised to mark the 160th anniversary of the 1854 Eureka Stockade. This community flag is featured in this exhibition alongside the tools and materials used to create it and photographs that tell its story.

Dr Ben Wilkie explores the contribution of Scottish migration to Ballarat and the Western Districts in the nineteenth century. You can attend Talking History in person at the Eureka Centre (subject to restrictions) or stream live from home via Facebook. 

Shane Howard has established himself as one of Australia's most influential writers and singers. To mark the 167th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade, Shane, with accompanist Richard Tankard, will perform ‘Rebel Songs’, a unique evening of story and song that celebrates his ancestral connections and honours Eureka’s legacy.

Join Dr Linda Young as she examines a unique type of jewellery invented in the 1850s, likely in Ballarat, to assert that the hard manual labour of digging for gold was a glorious achievement. This event was rescheduled from 07 October 2021.
