Rick Ball won the 2012 Outback Open Art Prize.  I wrote an article about it at the time, see link to that 7 August 2012 post here.

There will be two other exhibitions on at the same time as the Outback Open Art Prize exhibition.

'Life' by West Australian raised indigenous artist David Dowden and 'Silver City Highway' by Wentworth artist Steve Mars. Both these exhibitions will run from 6 July to 11 August 2013. Further details of these exhibitions can be found on the BHRAG website see link here.
