With that in mind our ID18 night has a huge focus on trying to attract families that may not ever had a reason to step foot on a trotting track before. The Inter gives us that platform thanks to Government Support.
The Club has also been working on an Art Activation Project with the City of Ballarat, Visit Ballarat, Delacombe Town Centre (DTC), representatives from local primary schools featuring Ballarat’s world renown street artist Travis Price (to give you an idea of Travis's reach he is currently designing a tour t-shirt for Pearl Jam)
The art activation named “Harnessing Creativity” includes an Art Competition, a month-long art display at DTC and artwork reincarnated into a Pop Art Horse display on heat night.
At this stage we have over 2,500 students participating and we hope the number keeps growing. Every child who enters the competition will receive a free family pass and a voucher to utilise in our Plate Up Ballarat Food Truck Area. The first 250 kids will also receive a free mini plaster horse painting kit for free.
