Ballidu Contemporary Arts Society and Ballidu Lodge Art Gallery

Bringing a community together

Ballidu Contemporary Arts Society was started with the intention of engaging audiences in contemporary art practices. The Society and the Ballidu Lodge Art Gallery have contributed to a vibrant art community in this little Wheatbelt town. The Society holds regular exhibitions, host artists-in-residence, and have installed sculptures around town. Look out for the 'Three Emus', 'Big Bird' 'The Time Clock' and the four War Memorial Statues, created in 2015 to commemorate the ‘100 Years of Anzac’
