A STUNNING White Night Ballarat program promises to wow crowds when the Victorian town's historic centre is transformed in a light and sound spectacular on Saturday, September 21.
The Ballarat White Night program will showcase 22 works by local artists with works crafted on the theme of lighting 'a spark'.
Visitors will be invited to interact with a Rube Goldberg machine in Action Reaction - an educational and entertaining installation integrating physics with technology created by Stephanie Wallace and Ballarat Tech School.
Local artist Stuart Walsh returns with Cherubim On A Sunday Drive Through Hell - a multimedia installation reflecting on climate change in a manufactured Garden of Eden.
The work of Ballarat's emerging and established special-needs artists will also be showcased in a collection of short works which play with the meaning of words and how they affect our feelings.
Throughout the night, visitors will enjoy live music and roving entertainment as well as projections on some of Ballarat's iconic heritage buildings.
Last year 60,000 people, including more than 15,000 from beyond the region, flocked to White Night in Ballarat, with the event generating more than $5 million for the local economy.
