The Ballarat International Foto Biennale promotes, presents and supports photography, as an art form. We aim to have a positive social and economic impact on the Ballarat region, serving and unifying the community, accessible to all with many events free; to be Australia’s leading photographic festival.

We exhibit in The Art Gallery of Ballarat, The Mining Exchange and over 80 other venues around Ballarat and work with local businesses to showcase the region.

In 2022, the development of the National Centre For Photography will commence at the former Union Bank building in historic Lydiard Street South signalling the start of a new era for the much-loved Ballarat International Foto Biennale.
