Ballarat International Foto Biennale

The Ballarat Foto Biennale [BIFB] which grew out of two similar events as the Daylesford Foto Biennale in 2005 and 2007, will again present a huge program of photographic events over multiple venues throughout Ballarat in 2011.

BIFB'11 will present a Core Exhibition Program of 20 of the best photography shows from across Australia and the world, as well as a vibrant open entry fringe exhibition program.

The Art Gallery of Ballarat, the Mining Exchange, Post Office Gallery, Trades Hall, Gallery B1, and many other grand historical buildings in the Ballarat heritage and arts precinct will host BIFB'11 Core Program exhibitions, with most venues situated within five minutes walk of each other.

The BIFB'11 exhibitions will be backed up by a fantastic educational program of artist floor talks, seminars, lectures, portfolio reviews and workshops, affording the opportunity for all lovers of photography to gain insights into all aspects of the photographic idiom.

Independent photographic associations and organisations will also hold their own individual events within the festival structure.
