The oldest continuous art school in Australia, from its beginnings as the School of Mines, Ballarat (SMB) and the establishment of the Ballarat Technical Art School in 1907, Federation University Australia (FedUni)’s Arts Academy endures despite many organisational, social and political changes.

Acknowledging the extraordinary achievements of FedUni’s Visual Arts alumni who studied at one of our former Ballarat Art Schools, REVAMP is a special opportunity to celebrate 48 visual artists who graduated during the period 1955 to 1979, some of whom have gained national and international recognition.

Winner – Neville Assad-Salha $30,000

“... It is dedicated to ceramics and the works of 25 Victorian potters who show up to five pieces. As many are of monumental proportions, the exhibition is big and crowded. [...] this major, though not exhaustive, statement (exhibition) provides viewers with a vibrant overview of the current vigour and originality of contemporary ceramics.”
