JULY 2018 ARTeFACT Magazine

In December ArtsAtlas asked its users for feedback on what changes, updates or general
overhauls the site could undertake in order to continue being the number one stop for artists
and art lovers alike in the Central Highlands region.
The responses were overwhelmingly positive and constructive.
More than that, your responses were heard!
As a direct result of the survey, several changes to the site have been discussed, debated and
planned, including a whole new look, feel and social media presence.
To avoid disruption to all ArtsAtlas users construction is now underway in the background.
So keep checking back soon! The next time you log on everything may look shiny and new.
Check out the new Ballarat SongWays
Music Mapping self-guided walking tour
brochure, inviting visitors and locals alike
to explore significant sites in the Ballarat
CBD and beyond that have contributed to
our rich live music culture.
In addition to an easy-to-follow walking
guide to the lost and found ‘homes’ of
our musical history, SongWays Music
Mapping provides a timeline of our
community’s cultural development and
pointers for additional sites that the more
intrepid traveller might want to explore.
The SongWays Music Mapping
brochure is one of a series of outcomes
from the 2017 Ballarat SongWays Music
Mapping project that created digital
documentation of the places, people and
experiences central to the story of our
live music heritage – and that component
of the initiative is now a feature on the
award-winning HULBallarat website
(www.hulballarat.org.au/songways).
Ballarat SongWays Music Mapping
walking tour brochures are now available
from the following outlets: Ballarat
Visitors Centre, Phoenix Building,
Ballarat Library, Art Gallery of Ballarat,
Backspace Gallery, Ballarat Rail
Station, and Craig’s Royal Hotel.
