The opportunity to deliver the Wall to Wall festival in Murray Bridge sprang from the Silo Art project, which was unable to be realised due to circumstances beyond Council’s control. The Wall to Wall artists will focus on themes identified throughout the Silo Art Project’s Community engagement process.

Wall to Wall Murray Bridge is presented by The Rural City of Murray Bridge and Murray Bridge Regional Gallery in partnership with Juddy Roller and was made possible with the support of the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund – an Australian Government initiative.
