BALLARAT\u2019S own Art Gallery has reopened after its three-month long closure.<\/p>\n
Visitors are advised to book through the online system to secure a time slot and peruse the works.<\/p>\n
A new entrance to the space is located on Police Lane and conditions of entry such as sanitising hands have been put in place to ensure the safety of those attending.<\/p>\n
The Gallery\u2019s director Louise Tegart hopes the changes made to the gallery won\u2019t impact people\u2019s experiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to come and go when you want has changed and now it\u2019s a bit more exclusive.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully it\u2019s not too different and people are excited about coming back,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Along with a myriad of other Ballarat businesses, the Art Gallery took this opportunity to do some building works.<\/p>\n
Ms Tegart said it was the perfect time for renovations while not open to the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been painting the foyer, re-hanging the staircase and working on our building management system to keep the temperature and humidity controlled,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Gallery is currently showing two exhibitions, the first of which contains works from Ballarat-born artist David Noonan.<\/p>\n
