Federation University’s Arts Academy’s important annual exhibition 'BENCHMARK', presents new work by undergraduate visual arts students currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Visual Arts in Ballarat.

Showcasing a rich mix of media, ideas, themes, styles and concepts, BENCHMARK provides the unique opportunity for students to exhibit their work alongside their peers in a formally curated exhibition and professional gallery setting, while experiencing the challenge of presenting their work within the public realm.
