Details:
An extraordinary intimate chance to discover the depth of the artist, the art and the mysteries behind the masterpieces.
From age 12, when he first exhibited as a child prodigy, to becoming an internationally celebrated artist, Paul Murray comes full circle in a remarkable evening revealing the stories, adventures, and unseen moments behind 56 years of art.
Internationally awarded and sold through 100 galleries, with original exhibitions often selling out with groups as high as 7,000 attendees.
Murray reveals a world seldom seen — the tales, trials, and triumphs of researching in remote and isolated places, documenting people, traditions, and ways of life at risk of disappearing.
Guests will also receive a premiere viewing and opportunity to purchase a special collection of originals, including never-before-seen works and the new Friends of the Forest & Farm animal series.
Enjoy wine & light hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, live speed painting, live music, rare behind-the-scenes video and an intimate artist talk.
Continuing Murray’s longstanding legacy of giving back, the evening also features a silent auction supporting the Alzheimer Society.
