Please note, we will NOT be opening by appointment prior to the open date mentioned above, so if coming to Lightning Ridge to visit the gallery, please be mindful of our opening date in your travel plans.

20.01.2022 John Murray’s self penned 300+ page book has finally descended to the gallery!! It’s been a wait but we made it in time for that special Xmas treat. Starting from art school days through to 2020, featuring the paintings and adventures over the years.

20.01.2022 Things are moving along big time now! Thanks to some handy work on the mattress paint brush by Saxon, Baz and Aidan - the base is now ready for some fun community involvement - and enter local artist Brian Smith (pictured) into the picture - 20 years after first collaborating with John and Bob in Bourke.

08.01.2022 Flash back to January fun in Centre Place Melbourne

08.01.2022 John may have missed his Blender buddy’s yesterday in Hosier Lane, but shared the spirit of painting big outdoors in Lightning Ridge. His piece B.O Problem featuring our very own backyard Willy Wagtails has now completed the side wall of the gallery in Billy Goat Lane. Yet another reason to jump in the car and head out west!

07.01.2022 Day 2 at Bourke - John, Bob and Lucas have got their boom lift/paint gun groove on and the awesome Aaron Davenport & the Travelling Family Circus is their to capture it. Kasper John Murray

07.01.2022 It’s that time again... You know what to do!

07.01.2022 A quick update from windy Sunday - what tool place today will be revealed later it’s a very big tower!

06.01.2022 Another update of Billy Goat Lane - Lightning Ridge.....more to come tomorrow!

05.01.2022 Whaat... three bemused emus holding up a washing line their beaks? In typical devilish style, John Murray Art has named this mural "Hear No Evil See No Evil Spe...ak No Evil". Well, you wouldn't be able to see any evil with a bra cup covering our eyes, or speak any evil with a pegged beak! Even where it's found makes you chuckle - on Billy Goat Lane, not far from the Lightning Ridge Visitors Information Centre - LRVIC in Outback NSW. As with all John Murray’s Lightning Ridge murals, local children and youth were invited to assist with the painting - and our judges loved that community connection. This mural has been named a FINALIST in the Best Rural Art category. Winners will be announced at a celebration on Tuesday 2 March on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

05.01.2022 Nothing like a freshen up! The water tower at Coonamble is now back to fabulousness and John Murray ‘s boom lift skills tweaked ready for the next big one at Bourke in 2021.

05.01.2022 "Together Apart" - created by Viki during the Covid19 isolation period is now available on Redbubble in a variety of mediums. We reckon it's tops on metal.

04.01.2022 The Wellington community pool is getting some John Murray magic. Assisted by local art students, the wall of the compound has a bright new look.

04.01.2022 We’ve been spending isolation time getting stuck into a biography of Johns work and career from art school to the present day. Here’s a glimpse of what he was doing in 1974 at the National Art School.

03.01.2022 A heads up for Ridge locals - those wanting personalised calendars for Xmas be sure to drop in and purchase by Monday. There won’t be an official signing day this year, but John will be doing them in one sharp hit - so leave details at time of purchase. We ordered in an extra 500 recently and they are running down quick.

02.01.2022 Percy Hobson is taking shape. Drone images thanks to Aaron Davenport who is working as hard as the artists every day - capturing this whole project for a documentary. You can see the start of Brian’s Goanna too.

02.01.2022 Announcing the release and pre order John Murray's book - Get A Real Job and the 2021 Calendar. http://ems.gs/jPi1kuwORI
