Highlights of this major international exhibition organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London include garments crafted by Balenciaga from the 1950s and 1960s – arguably the most creative period of his career when he dressed some of the most renowned women of the time – through to pieces designed by protégés and contemporary designers working in the same innovative way today.
This program enables a full immersion into three diverse exhibitions at Bendigo Art Gallery and La Trobe Art Institute. Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion and Desert Lines: Batik from Central Australia at Bendigo Art Gallery will allow students to view a range of display styles and artworks to enrich their understanding of exhibition design and curatorship.

What do children see, question, and value in an artwork?
At Bendigo Art Gallery we want to know!
Primary school classes are invited to visit the Gallery and work with an education officer to discover the collection and share their own insights on the artworks. Following the visit the Gallery will incorporate the children’s ideas and writing into a series of children’s labels to be displayed in the Gallery. Every child who participates in the program will receive a Gallery certificate.
