A Lifetime of Colour: Where Expression Meets Experience 

Presented by Ageing Well Services as part of Ballarat Seniors Festival, A Lifetime of Colour showcases the works of older adults from Ballarat Society of Artists Inc and Perridak Arts in a celebration of creativity, life experience, and the many stories that shape who we are. 

Where Experience Meets Expression honours the richness of later life, showcasing creativity as something that continues to grow, evolve, and inspire. It recognises that every stage of life brings new ways to see, feel, and create. 

This exhibition invites artists to explore how a lifetime of experiences can be expressed through colour, texture, and form. Each piece reflects a unique journey – capturing memories, passions, relationships, and perspectives developed over time. 

Showing at Ballarat Library from Thursday 1 October to Saturday 31 October 2026. 

Join us for afternoon tea with the artists at 4.30pm on Wednesday 14 October.
