Perridak Arts: A Thriving Hub for First Nations Artists

Established in May 2023, Perridak Arts is a therapeutic program and cultural space created to support First Nations artists and craftspeople in Ballarat. Owned and operated by the Ballarat & District Aboriginal Cooperative (BADAC), Perridak Arts provides a dedicated platform for artists to display, sell, and celebrate their original works.

Perridak Arts has proudly supported more than 70 First Nations artists, helping them reconnect to culture, share their stories, and establish themselves in the Aboriginal art scene. Through the sale of authentic art and crafts, we ensure artists receive direct financial support for their work while fostering a deeper appreciation of First Nations culture.

As a proud Aboriginal-owned business, Perridak Arts connects local artists with Ballarat residents, visitors, and international buyers, showcasing the richness and resilience of the world’s oldest living culture.

Every artwork carries meaning, every piece tells a story—and we invite you to be part of it.
