KILRUSH’S longest running art club is preparing for its annual art exhibi- tion.
Although the exact set up date of the club is not clearly recorded, members believe that this is the Kilrush Art Club’s 20th exhibition.
The exhibition which usually co-in- cided with the Eigse Mrs Crotty Fes-
tival, will take place this year from July 30 to August 21.
Founding members and new citi- zens make up this dynamic group with a variety of subjects and tech- niques.
The paintings include acrylic, oul, water and ink and are available for sale in a wide range of prices.
The works that make up the 2009 exhibition feature scenery, abstract,
humans and animals.
As many as 60 pieces make up this exhibition from 10 artists living lo- cally.
Group organiser Pauline Dunleavy said that a number of people follow this annual exhibition faithfully.
Most if not all of the scenery paint- ings are inspired locally.
“You can’t go outside the scenery in west Clare. It is breathtaking,”
said Ms Dunleavy.
All new members are encouraged to join the sociable and friendly club by contacting Pauline in Anchor Crafts, Kilrush.
The exhibition will be officially opened on July 30, in the Kilrush Library, with a wine and cheese re- ception.
The exhibition will run until Au- gust 21.
