“Into The Never Never”new work for the Pro Hart Outback Prize . Early settlers were quite intimidated by the outback , and it was often said that if you ventured to far into the outback, you would “ never never “ come back . #johnmurray #johnmurrayartgallery #outback #prohart #dingo by @mortmurray

A dream project is coming to Lightning Ridge thanks to @mortmurray @vkm_street & The John Murray Art Gallery.

In true Murray fashion the project is being taken into their own hands and self funded to support artists and create a completely unique project in the outback.

A big thanks to @lukaskasper_art for shooting and editing the video and to all the artists featured:

Painters: @ruskidd @mandalaneart @n2o_jo @jaaaaameswilson @mortmurray @vkm_street & @lukaskasper_art
