GROUP 8 ARE BACK

Batik: Garbally House - Fiona Ormsby

After a hiatus, due to a busy membership, Group 8 are back. We are hatching plans for the coming year. For now keep the 27th November 2015 free for a night of literature and cake in The Studio at Tosnú Art and Craft Gallery, Brackernagh, Ballinasloe. 7.30pm. Free admission!

2014 THEME DECIDED & NEW MEMBER

We had a productive Group 8 meeting last night and confirmed our theme for our 2014 annual exhibition: Garbally. It is the local big house (built by Lord Clancarty in the 17th century) and is now a boys' school. It has beautiful grounds and lots of history. We will be brainstorming and creating over the next few months to come up with gorgeous art and writing for our exhibition in March.

We also welcomed ceramicist Walter Coughlan, who runs the Kilconnell Art Space, on board. You can view some of Walter's beautiful works on the YouTube video above. Walter arrived at the meeting in his vintage Mustang. A fabulous car that had us all in swoons.

We have plans for a Culture Night exhibition too, on 20th September in Tosnú Art Gallery in Ballinasloe - so stay tuned for that.
