Red Rock Art is pleased to announce that at this years annual Argyle Diamond Ord Valley Muster Exhibition we are working in partnership with the Rotary Club of Kununurra to stage a fundraising auction in support of the club’s Hospital Chapel Initiative.

As a response to Kununurra Hospital’s lack of quiet space for reflection, prayer and privacy in times of need, the Rotary Club of Kununurra intends to create a non-denominational Hospital Chapel, not only for the people of Kununurra but also for our many visitors and friends. The Exhibition and Auction will be held at Red Rock Art Gallery on Thursday 27th May. The Exhibition will feature new works in Ochre by Artists Nelly Gordon, Jeanette Dyson and Jimmy McKenzie and will open at 6.30 pm.
