Art Group exhibition extended

Kilcullen Art Group has been kindly invited by Bridge Camphill to continue their exhibition of local art upstairs in An Tearmann until early January, writes Sabina Reddy.

If you are interested in shopping local for Christmas presents, then you need go no further than An Tearmann — there is plenty of choice between products from Camphill and art by local amateur artists.

If you are just in for a coffee please feel free to pop upstairs and view local artistic talent.

Art Group show talent in An Tearmann

The Kilcullen Art Group has set up an exhibition of members' paintings in the upstairs gallery of An Tearmann, writes Brian Byrne.

The 21 paintings are a representative sample of the work of the Group, which is celebrating its 10th year in existence.

The exhibition is at the invitation of Bridge Camphill, and the Group is donating part of the proceeds of any sales to the local Camphill community. It will run until the end of September.

Group members have previously exhibited in Fallons, Kilcullen Community Library, the Dunlavin Arts Weekend, the People's Art exhibitions in St Stephen's Green Dublin, and at the Shortt family's annual Garden Open Day.

There are 14 members currently active in the Kilcullen Art Group.

Art Group on the green

Kilcullen Art Group will be exhibiting again at St Stephen's Green in Dublin this weekend.

A recent first outing at the venue was very successful, and a great experience for the group in getting feedback for their work from total strangers.

If you're in town, stop by and say hello.

Kilcullen art in Dublin

Members of the Kilcullen Art Group are exhibiting in Dublin over the weekend around St Stephen's Green, as part of the People's Art series.

People's Art Dublin is a voluntary, part time, non profit making group, brought together by Dublin City Council to promote the visual arts to the public of Dublin. Each year after expenses are paid, donations are made to various charities.

Art in the Library

For those interested in our local artists, there's now an ongoing opportunity to see their work beyond the annual exhibition put on in Fallons, writes Brian Byrne.

Thanks to an initiative by our librarion Julie O'Donoghue, a rolling exhibition of Kilculle Art Group members' work will run through the year.

"It makes a lovely addition to the library, so hopefully should add to Art involvement in Kilcullen," says Art Group leader Sabina Reddy. "At the moment we just have a mix of different people's pieces and in a while we will start to put up a series of theme pieces."

Anyone interested in getting involved in the Group can contact Sabina at 087 6807139. They meet Tuesday nights.
