Located in the very heart of the Ringwood arts precinct,
The Backyard is a one-of-a-kind outdoor space that is rarely open to the public. It features a series of murals by renowned local and international female street artists and is used from time to time as a unique open-air performance space.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of this land and pay respects to elders past and present.
