Creative Arts Showcase at the 2025 Ballarat Show

Step into a world of imagination, colour, and craftsmanship at the Creative Arts showcase in our Family Pavilion where talent blooms and passion shines!

The 2025 Ballarat Show proudly celebrates the artistry of our community across a dazzling array of categories including art and crafts, painting, floral design, photography, and cookery.

Marvel at handcrafted treasures, from intricate quilts to clever upcycled creations.  Admire stunning paintings that capture the beauty of the bush, the buzz of city life, and everything in between.  Be swept away by vibrant floral arrangements bursting with creativity and seasonal charm.

Snapshots of life, nature, and emotion come alive in the photography section, showcasing the keen eye and storytelling power of local shutterbugs.  And don’t miss the mouthwatering magic of the cookery competition, where cakes rise, jams sparkle, and baked goods are judged on both flavour and flair.

Whether you're a creator, a connoisseur, or simply curious, the Creative Arts Showcase is a feast for the senses and a celebration of local talent.

You can find the conditions and classes in the schedule below, with the final day for entries being 31st October 2025.

Come be inspired, and maybe even start planning your entry for next year!
