SOLDIERS HILL ARTIST COLLECTIVE

Soldiers Hill Artist Collective SHAC comprises a group of artists of varied art methods who live in the historic district of Soldiers Hill, Ballarat. The collective is the brainchild of Lynne Makings an artist who was struck by the many local artists she met whilst she and her husband Ken were walking out and about in the district.

The collective has developed into a vibrant community group; a forum for members to meet like - minded neighbours, learn, collaborate and be inspired to create. SHAC extend their community outreach through their annual ArtWalk and Open Studio events and are now exhibiting works in local businesses shopfronts, in Soldiers Hill. SHAC artists have held pop up exhibitions in vacant shops, exhibitions at Fairbanks Eye Gallery, Mercure Inn, Backspace and also participate in solo and group exhibitions.
