The Hop Lane Umbrellas, just outside of Hop Temple Ballarat, is an awesome place to grab a selfie with our revolving colours and patterns to celebrate various days on the calendar. In February 2025, the umbrellas turned rainbow in celebration of Pride and the Ballarat Pride Community day event.

For Pride Month, 2024, the Art Gallery of Ballarat invited three local members of the LGBTIQA+ community to respond to artworks in the collection. It was such a popular exhibition that it was extended from the end of June to the start of November  

 1 June - 30 August

Each season, the Art Gallery of Ballarat asks the community to vote on one of three works from the collection to display. In the lead up to June, all three works were by Australian artists who explore themes of gender and identity.
