Thank you to everyone who came along to Boomalli Unplugged yesterday. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, listening to live music, while being surrounded by the stunning artworks in Boomalli's gallery.

The talent of Kathryn Miller and Hamish Brown was truly inspiring.

Boomalli Unplugged will be back in 2016, bigger and better than ever.

The last Boomalli Unplugged for 2015 was held on Sunday 13th December 2-4pm. The event featured performances by Hamish Brown and Kathryn Miller.

Miri, meaning shining star, is an Artistic collaboration between Euraba, Moree Plains Regional gallery and Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative focusing on Goomeroi artists' capacity to curate, create and influence.
