Tailored Education Tours
I ❤ Campbell
Presented in Ballarat’s historic Mining Exchange, Campbell Addy’s exhibition I ❤ Campbell will be at the forefront of the festival, featuring a newly conceived set of photographs, original paintings and a short film shot on location in Ghana. Each work reflects a personal meditation on the artist’s roots and inspiration, which can be seen across Campbell’s dramatic photographic portfolio of magazine covers, iconic portraits and creative practice.
Students will explore contemporary art practice and the role of art in society. They will also gain curatorial and behind-the-scenes insights into the exhibition and the Ballarat International Foto Biennale—one of Australia’s preeminent photography festivals—more broadly.
Tailored Education Tours and self-guided group visits are $6.60 per student for up to 30 students. Educators and support staff are included in this price. Tours will run for 1 hour and include time for students to complete reflections in their journals.
Please note that a group booking price applies to visits beyond this exhibition.
