I often tell people that the Art Gallery of Ballarat is about art: we buy it, we show it, we lend it and we store it. The challenge for us is how to do this in a creative and inspiring way.

Our 2014-2018 Strategic Plan Building for the Future is the way we plan to go about doing this, and this year’s milestones aim to achieve our four key building pillars: to build an inspiring exhibition schedule, and to build our footprint, our collection, and our relationships. This year saw our diverse exhibition schedule once again continue to deliver successful and profitable exhibitions with record visitor numbers attracting people to the gallery many for their first visit.

In my first official duty as Chair, I had great pleasure in attending the opening of EIKŌN: Icons of the Orthodox Christian World. Most visitors to this exhibition were from outside Ballarat and kicked off our schedule with something quite unique to Ballarat.

This year the Capturing Flora exhibition on loan to Cairns Regional Gallery did exceptionally well gaining more than 25,000 visitors and a request from the Director at Cairns for more of our ‘home grown’ shows.

As I write this, the Gallery is experiencing more than 1100 visitors per day to the Archibald Prize 2015 Exhibition, and the Board is confident we will easily meet projected targets and KPIs. These visitors have enjoyed not only the Archibald exhibition, but many other Ballarat attractions after a joint project with the City of Ballarat saw the appointment of Jennifer Ganske as the Season of the Arts Coordinator.

a city wide program around the exhibition, including launching the Season of the Arts Program. The Archibald Prize 15-16 Exhibitions and the Art Gallery of Ballarat major exhibitions will be a key feature of the program. Staff are already working on the 2017 exhibition, something very different and original. It is clear we have an exciting few years ahead of us.

In coming months, we will begin work on our gap analysis and concepts for the building redesign. Having the Archibald Prize Exhibition entrance and other activities in Alfred Deakin Place has shown how activated the space can be with just a little work. Recent discussions about our plans with Natalie Reiter, City of Ballarat General Manager, will see a Master Plan for the Gallery precinct developed to support our Strategic Plan work in the coming months.

We are often so focused on what needs to be accomplished that we forget to stop, review and reflect on what we have achieved. Much of the work for the Board in the past year has been one of consolidation; it has been a time to review our processes, to ensure that after four years with our current governance structure we have the correct processes and agreements in place. It is also important to ensure that we have the right people and resources in order for us to achieve our vision and deliver the Strategic Plan.

With this in mind, the Board undertook a review of our City of Ballarat Service Agreements. Key outcomes from the review include changing the Funding Agreement from annual to triennial funding, and updating the Premises Agreement to give control of the café lease to the Board.

With control of the café lease and liquor licence, the Board has greater flexibility in how we can provide catering for Gallery events. This was demonstrated when the sudden

withdrawal of our café proprietors early this year allowed us to trial The Salon, a relaxed meeting area, which has been very popular with Association Members, staff and visitors.

Whilst it is not yet quite complete, I have worked with the leaders of the Gallery Association, Foundation and Guides, to create a draft Gallery Alliance MOU. The MOU will document a number of past commitments, and the relationships and the expectations each group has with each other. The document has taken longer than expected, but should be completed early in 2016.

This year, with assistance from the City of Ballarat, we continued to support and provide governance professional development with other local boards, holding our second Governance Training Day in May. With twenty-five in attendance, representing at least twelve boards, the overall feedback was positive with requests for us to do this again.

I would like to thank Natalie Reiter and the City of Ballarat for their ongoing commitment to the Gallery. Thank you for having faith in the Board and allowing us to grow and develop the Gallery as we believe it needs to.

In October, we held our second Western Region Gallery Forum with the topic ‘Models of Gallery Directorship’. Gallery Directors from most of our regional galleries attended, and there was plenty of food for thought with clearly some interesting challenges for some directors and galleries.

To Kelly Smith and her ‘no problems’ attitude, your work with the Board is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to Gordon Morrison and his team of very committed and skilled staff for their dedicated work. Once again, staff across the Gallery delivered another year of

76

outstanding exhibitions and results. Congratulations to Ben Cox for his work on the For Auld Lang Syne catalogue, which won the first prize at the national printers awards for best quality bound book in Australia in 2014.

To assist the Chair this year, we formed an Executive and Risk Sub-committee who oversee Board agendas, follow up on outstanding actions and provide advice on key issues. I would like to thank Peter Afford, Mark Harris and Tunde Meikle for your support this year and assistance on this committee.

The Governance and Nominations Committee had a busy year developing and reviewing a number of Board policies and procedures. This included a simplification of the Acquisitions and Deaccession Policies and Procedures, and a formal process for Board Recruitment and Appointment.

This year we farewell several directors including Derek White, Garry Taylor and Joe Fleming, who left at last year’s AGM, or earlier in the year. Angela Carey and Tunde Meikle have not reapplied to the Board due to work and family commitments. I take this opportunity to thank all retiring Directors for their contribution over the past three years and wish them well.

We welcomed two new ex-officio members onto the Board this year — Barry Wemyss, President of the Gallery Association and Mark Guirguis, Chair of the Gallery Foundation. Barry and Mark provide a connection for the Board with the Association Members and Foundation Trustees, whilst providing an opportunity for them to contribute to the Board’s overall strategic work.

Stacey Grose has held a casual vacancy on the board since May. I am pleased that we will appoint her and three new

directors, Stirling Larkin, Simon Cox and Michelle Dunn to the Board. These individuals bring a wealth of experience, skills and networks to our Board.

I thank my fellow Directors on the Art Gallery of Ballarat Board for their commitment to delivery of the Strategic Plan, and the contribution they make at Board level and on the various sub-committees.

To our volunteers and Gallery friends, the Gallery Association, and the Gallery Foundation, the Guides, Women’s Association, thank you for your hard work and commitment to the Gallery and its projects.

Finally, I look forward to the coming year as we work together to build and strengthen the Art Gallery of Ballarat as Australia’s foremost regional gallery.

I leave you with a quote from Helen Keller, ‘Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much’.

Director’s Report

Always it seems that it is the major temporary exhibitions that dominate our reporting and in the 12 months here under review it is no exception. We began this period with the final month of the monumental for Auld Lang Syne exhibition and we ended the year with preparations in full swing for the 2015 iteration of the Archibald Prize.

However, it was during the months from October 2014 until January 2015 that we mounted an exhibition that was unprecedented in the annals of the Art Gallery of Ballarat – EIKŌN: Icons of the Orthodox Christian World. I make special claims for this exhibition because no other art allery in Australia had ever presented an exhibition devoted exclusively to the unique devotional art of the Orthodox Christian world. There had been a small installation of mainly Russian Icons at University Galleries, and the Hellenic Museum in Melbourne had shown a fine exhibition of Greek icons and liturgical articles. However, the show in Ballarat covered most of the Orthodox Christian world: Syria, Cypress, Asia Minor, Crete, Northern Greece and Russia.

Many of the loans came from one remarkable private collection in Sydney, but this corpus of work was augmented by some important loans from the NGV as well as two monumental ‘Cathedral’ icons from the Temple Gallery in London. Nearly 20,000 people visited the exhibition including a large number of individuals from Orthodox Communities throughout South-Eastern Australia. The beautiful in-house designed and produced catalogue sets a special standard for such publications in this country.

The second of three Victorian Indigenous Art Awards also occurred during this period – once again demonstrating the vitality of indigenous visual arts practice in South-Eastern Australia.

In Autumn we mounted the second Guirguis New Art Prize in conjunction with Federation University. While the winning work, Lou Hubbard’s Dead Still Standing passed into the University collection, the Art Gallery of Ballarat chose to purchase Pakitiringa (Rain) by Conrad Tipungwuti.

From a human resources perspective the 2014-15 period was one of continuity with no significant changes to report. It almost goes without saying that the Gallery’s extraordinary ability to present so many exhibitions of such a consistently high standard is a testimony to the wonderful commitment, talent and endurance of the team we have here.

I particularly enjoyed working with Board Chair Cr Vicki Coltman, who has such a strong understanding of the distinctiveness of our gallery and who champions us so effectively in so many ways. Also it has been a pleasure working with Divisional Manager Natalie Reiter, who has also grasped the concept of a semi-autonomous gallery with both hands, seeing how much potential exists in the new model of governance that is at work in the Gallery. We are in a very strong position to do even more exciting things.

Association Report By far the most pleasurable duty of the Association this year was to resume hosting Gallery exhibition openings, in particular Alumination by thirty post-graduate students of the University of Ballarat, Paper Scape by local artist Tarli Glover, and Mycolinguistics by Ash Coates. In all, outstanding events! The supply of name badges to Association Council members has assisted in identifying them, making clear the Association’s active assistance with Gallery activities.

The Gallery’s exhibition schedule, which included annual Victorian Indigenous Art Awards, presented a vast array of medium and subject matter. In particular, the exhibitions revealed to visitors the Gallery’s commitment to local and regional artists, along with highlighting the magnitude and extent of their work.

October 2014 saw the significant 130th anniversary of Art Gallery of Ballarat Association, where a capacity 300-strong audience heard art valuer Simon Storey share his experiences, and revealing some of the nation’s archival storeroom mysteries. Following Simon’s highly entertaining talk, Members gathered on the grand, historic Gallery staircase, witnessing the cutting of the Birthday cake.

Association memberships have grown this year, and with the ever-attentive work of the Membership Sub-Committee, it is anticipated that it will continue to grow in the lead-up to, and during the Archibald Exhibition. With distinctive and beneficial incentives for Membership, including social function, we are likely to continue to greet new Members.

Coinciding with the extremely popular EIKŌN exhibition, Association members enjoyed a festive night of Greek culture — Greek foods, Greek music, and Greek dancing — in a full house at the Mechanics Institute Minerva Space.

Thanks to Garry Taylor, a bus trip in August offered Members the chance to view the marvellous Masterpieces from the Hermitage at the National Gallery of Victoria. A large group of enthusiastic Members took part in this very successful Association social activity.

Unknown to most Members, a core team of Brian Hay, Garry Taylor, Loris Button, and Mary Doyle volunteer their time every Monday morning to process and renew Association Memberships. This dedicated team is the most active group of our Council volunteers, and deserve our appreciative thanks.

Our magazine, Association, is a fine example of our proficient and dedication volunteers as written by, with contributions from various contributors. This quarterly magazine is vital in keeping Members informed and providing them with items of artistic interest. Including a message from the Director, New Acquisitions, reports on gallery activities, interviews and member profiles, Association is a quality publication of great interest to Members and readers, near and far.

All Association Council Members have undertaken varied and extensive voluntary work on behalf of the Gallery and Members, and none more so than Treasurer Brian Hay, and Secretary Anne Beggs Sunter. Together with the work groups that plan and prepare exhibition openings and coordinate our occasional social events, you are work-beavers extraordinaire — well done, and thank you all!

Gallery Guides Report

It is my pleasure to report on the activities and progress of the Art Gallery of Ballarat Volunteer Guides for 2014–15.

The Gallery Guides’ group is made up of forty-one amazing people who voluntarily guide visitors through the gallery collection and designated special exhibitions. In addition, nine equally amazing people joined us in February 2015 as trainee guides. They will graduate in November 2015 and we will number forty-eight. The Guides meet twice-monthly and the leadership committee of nine members meet monthly, in addition.

I am proud to report that the Guides’ basic goal, to welcome and introduce visitors to the Gallery permanent collection and specific other exhibitions, has been well and truly achieved this year, with 5,608 people participating in 409 tours — an average of 107.8 visitors per week. A grand achievement indeed! As of September, guided tours will increase from five to seven days per week, another milestone!

In July 2014, as For Auld Lang Syne drew to a close, a spike in visitor numbers meant that we guided 1,462 visitors through its lochs and glades. I wish to offer hearty congratulations to the Gallery production team, led by Director Gordon Morrison and Exhibition Officer Ben Cox, of the catalogue For Auld Lang Syne: Images of Scottish Australia From First Fleet to Federation, which won a Gold Medal for the best quality bound book in Australia in 2014 at the 2014 Media Super National Print Awards. Well done!

No sooner had the lilt of the bagpipes faded and the Ballarat tartan been folded away, than we Guides launched into a learning frenzy in preparation for EIKŌN: Icons of the Orthodox Christian World. In coming to grips with the challenging concept behind the images used in Orthodox

religious worship, we read, discussed and made site visits to the Serbian Monastery in Elaine and St Patricks Cathedral in Ballarat. The visitor response to EIKŌN through spring and summer was amazing, with 2647 visitors all told. The Guides scheduled extra tours in January, as the numbers peaked towards the end of the exhibition. Australians at War 1914–1945 during autumn saw lower visitor numbers but they were very appreciative and impressed.

A clear commitment to the study of art is integral to art gallery guiding. Throughout the year we participated in a comprehensive program Into the Galleries, which was devised by our inimitable education team. Experienced Guides used their considerable knowledge about movements in art, art analysis, history and methodology, focusing on the Gallery’s comprehensive collection of Australian art. Iconography in Christian Orthodoxy was our focus for EIKŌN as were the methods and media used to record Australian responses to WWI & II for Australians at War, while portraiture was a focus in preparation for the Archibald Prize exhibition.

Our knowledge of artistic endeavour was also enhanced by our organisation of and attendance at the fortnightly public lecture program Art Insights at the Gallery and Federation University. Visits to the Bendigo Art Gallery and the NGV to view exhibitions Ned Kelly and Australians at War extended our understanding of other galleries and our experience of other guiding techniques.

Our very own website, as it develops and grows continues to enable paper-saving access to our invaluable resources and up-to-date information. Fourteen Art Gallery of Ballarat Guides will be among the gallery guides from across Australia who will gather in

The Gallery Guides aim to extend the visitor experience beyond the Archibald, taking visitors into our permanent collection upstairs seven days a week and twice daily, if required.

We wish the Gallery staff, Board, Association and Foundation a record-breaking, fulfilling Archibald period and offer our full and ongoing support to promote the Art Gallery of Ballarat as a premier regional gallery.

Veronica Stott Convener

Adelaide in October for the National AAGGO Bi-annual conference, Engage. We look forward to much inspiring input, much socialising and inspiration AND a presentation on the development of our website by Vanessa Burgess, who helped to develop it. I wish to congratulate the Gallery Director Gordon Morrison and staff for the diverse, thought-provoking exhibitions we have seen this year. We have been impressed and enjoyed viewing and promoting each one, especially The Inimitable Mr Meek, curated by our guide colleague Joan Luxemburg.

As I conclude, I am mindful of the enormous amount of planning and workload required of Gallery staff in readiness for the Archibald Exhibition. Many artworks have been relocated, the building looks fresh and marketing minds have been preparing for what augers to be a busy six weeks.

Donations, Gifts and Bequests

do not have to go towards the acquisition of works of art, but can include conservation work, support of publications or establishing community programs. The variety of ways in which your contribution can have a lasting impact is almost endless.

Gifts to the Gallery can be made through the Art Gallery of Ballarat Foundation, a Charitable Fund whose role is to assist the Gallery with specific projects or acquisitions.

The Art Gallery of Ballarat is a Not for Profit Company Limited by Guarantee which has Charitable Institution status and is endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR).

For more information, or to arrange an appointment with the Gallery Director, contact the Art Gallery of Ballarat Business Support Officer on 5320 5858 or artgal@ballarat.vic.gov.au

Giving to an art gallery is not just an act of generosity, it is a powerful expression of your own personality, recognisable for generations to come. The generosity of individual donors has the power to transform art institutions, bringing a lasting benefit to their communities and creating a lasting memorial to the giver.

Over the years, the Art Gallery of Ballarat has benefitted from the generosity of members of the community and many of the Gallery’s most famous artworks have been acquired as the result of donations, gifts and bequests. Hans Heysen’s The three gums, Tom Roberts’ A summer morning tiff and E Phillips Fox’s A love story were acquired in this way in the past, while more recent examples are Rick Amor’s Study for the dry season, Brett Whiteley’s Portrait of Richard Neville and Jeffrey Smart’s The listeners.

EIKŌN: Icons of the Orthodox Christian WorldArt Gallery of Ballarat18 October 2014 – 26 January 2015

This exhibition of over sixty icons, many of them drawn from an extraordinary Australian private collection, as well as significant loans from the National Gallery of Victoria, the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology in Queensland and the Temple Gallery in London.

Most of the icons in the exhibition originate from Greece and Russia, with examples from other parts of the eastern Mediterranean. They range in time from the twelfth to the early nineteenth centuries.

The exhibition aimed to explain the origin of the icon, exploring their meaning to the communities who create and venerate them, and to give visitors insights into their extraordinary power to sustain and shape belief in different times and contexts.

Viewing the exhibition was a special event, with dramatic lighting and a soundscape incorporating traditional chanting, bells and other sounds of an Orthodox service, recreating the original setting of the works. There was a calendar of talks, concerts and family activity days.

A creative and engaging education program was developed in conjunction with the exhibition.An Education Trail through the exhibition was provided for schools and family visitors with fun “Pilgram’s Facts”.

EIKON was accompanied by a lavishly illustrated catalogue, as well as specially produced Christmas cards and other merchandise.

The Gallery’s dedicated Guides offered special exhibition tour, daily at 11.30am from Wednesdays to Sundays.

Visitation to the exhibition was 16,449.

EIKŌN

This charming portable triptych exemplifies

work produced at an artisanal level in places like

the Southern Peloponnese or the Ionian Islands in

around 1700. It was probably commissioned for a

moderately wealthy farmer or townsman for use

inside the home, or perhaps in a private chapel. The

work makes no claims to being ‘high art’, but is well

crafted with some costly materials, such as gold

leaf. Although the execution of the sacred portraits

is somewhat crude, the iconography itself is fully

grounded in a tradition that reaches back to the

courtly art of late Byzantium.

The upper register of the three panels represents

the core image of Deesis, or Intercession, with the

Mother of God and John the Forerunner in postures

of supplication, directing their attention to a half-

length figure of Christ the Ruler of All, who holds

the Gospels in his left hand and makes a gesture of

Cat.21

Triptych with Deesis and four patron saints

blessing with his right. Above Christ are images in

red of two of the six winged Seraphim, the highest

order of the angels, who the Old Testament tells were

so bright that they used their wings to shield their

hands, feet and faces.The lower register presents saints particular

to the family of the person who commissioned the

work: Michael the Archangel in his guise as leader

of the Heavenly Host; the Holy Bishops of the First

Nicene Council, Nicholas and Athanasius, champion

of the doctrine of the Trinity; and finally on the right,

Stylianos, a wonder-working hermit of sixth century

Paphlagonia in Asia Minor, who was highly regarded

as a patron of children, both born and unborn.

Saint Stylianos is one of a relatively small number of

Orthodox saints who is usually shown with an external

‘attribute’ by which he can be quickly recognised. In his

case, it is an image of a baby in swaddling clothes.38 GM

Education Report

The gallery education programs continue to attract students from across the state and beyond. Over the past twelve months a range of special programs were developed to complement different exhibitions as well as events such as Reconciliation Week and Children’s Bookweek. Our most popular programs continue to be created in partnership with schools and are designed to support specific curriculum needs of the school. That said the history of Ballarat and gold continues to be in demand, with our Hall of debate and ST Hill programs attracting schools from Adelaide to Sydney and schools in between. It has become a significant part in many schools curriculum.

Also growing in popularity is the VCE Studio Arts Making of an Exhibition day which is designed to complement the studio arts study design. This program gives the students an insight into the workings of the gallery and it is valued because students have the opportunity to see and hear from the gallery staff themselves. It is wonderful to see this partnership with the gallery and school community.

The number of students who come to take part in the special programs run at the gallery as well as using the permanent collection as a resource continues to grow. As an example of the type of tours and workshops run, we had the wonderful Eikōn exhibition attracting students from all levels and also included special sessions for teachers with some schools using it as staff meeting, gaining greater insight under the guidance and expertise of Gordon Morrison. Students had the opportunity to view the exhibition, study the materials and technique used and then create their own Icon painting, painted on prepared wooden panels. These works then created a mini exhibition back at the participating schools.
