THE EMIGRANTS - ERSKINE NICOL

Erskine Nicol’s beautiful painting ‘The Emigrants’, which belongs to London’s Tate Gallery, fits beautifully with our theme, The Group 8 Gathering.

The painting shows a red-shawled woman at Ballinasloe train station on her way, with others, to Galway to board boats to America.

Our exhibition launches on Friday the 15th march, 7pm, at Hayden's Hotel. Wine, food, readings, music, and beautiful art. All welcome!

THE GROUP 8 GATHERING

Well, we have chosen our theme for our 2013 exhibition and it is, appropriately, The Gathering. We will launch the exhibition on Friday the 15th March and run over that weekend until Bank Holiday Monday the 18th.

There will be the usual mix of literature, sculpture, photography, installations, textile work, video and paintings, live readings, music from The Bee Jazzband, and on the Friday night, a glass of wine and nibbles. 

Watch this space! We look forward to welcoming you to our emigration and homecoming themed exhibition.
