Member Caóilfíonn Murphy O’Hanlon, who creates felted landscapes under the business name Cushla of Gullion, has an exhibition, Along The Loanin, that launches this Friday at 7pm in the Market Place Theatre & Arts Centre, Armagh, Northern Ireland.
It’s a multi-media exhibition of word, wool paintings, and photography – all inspired by the hills of home.
Our exhibition ‘Building Bridges’ stays open until 4 o clock, Thursday the 22nd of December. There is usually ample parking and a very nice coffee shop. They have bands playing in the courtyard most days.
Pictures are included below for those of you who cannot make it.
Hi All. We have heard that some of our members are nearly there with their entries for our Building Bridges exhibition but that they would like a little bit more time. We want to show as much of our members work as possible, so we have extended the deadline. Happy making!!!
One week done but there are still 3 weeks to get to the Phoenix Park to to see our wonderful work in the flesh. All the exhibits look amazing against the rough stone walls of the Visitor’s Centre’s gallery space. Deirdre Crofts and her team did a fantastic job, meticulously spacing and hanging each piece, creating a top class exhibition. She’s probably still dreaming about measurements!
Here is the slideshow put together by Ramona Farrelly of everyone’s pieces. You might just fancy another wee look on a Monday morning.
The deadline is approaching- 20th of August. We have many exciting entries already, but want to encourage as many of our members as possible to participate!
Remember: 1) There is no fee for submitting your piece.
2) This is a “members exhibition” with no adjudication or judging, we would like to show the range, breadth and depth of our talent as an organisation, with the primary purpose of promoting the craft of felt- be you a beginner or a professional.
3) Please read the application form carefully- for details of requirements, size, photograph etc…
SIZE REQUIREMENTS 30CM X30CM… THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR DIGITAL EXHIBITION AND THE IDEA IS TO HAVE A GIANT GRID OF ALL OUR MEMBERS WORK IN A PHYSICAL SPACE TOO!
4) Let the title “Colour our World” inspire you, don’t be afraid to push the boundaries, show your skills, experiment… 1 piece from each member is guaranteed accepted…
5) Feel free to contact the committee for any assistance, advice, question or help.
We would like to invite all members to take part in our exhibition for 2021.
The title is ” Colour our World”. This is a members exhibition, we ideally would like to show one piece from each member ( you can submit up to 3 pieces, if you like, with the guaranteed of acceptance of one piece and up to three).
This year, everything is different… and we are getting used to the idea of flexing, pivoting, changing and moving with everything that life throws at us.
The deadline is approaching- end of July- please submit a piece… we have over 70 members and would love ech and every one of you to take this opportunity to be part of a members exhibition- celebrate your craft… perhaps you haven’t had your work shown in an exhibition before? this is a great opportunity for exposure.
1) There is no fee for submitting your piece… the member is responsible for getting the piece to any venue- should we be able to secure a physical space.
2) This is a “members exhibition” with no adjudication or judging, we would like to show the range, breadth and depth of our talent as an organisation, with the primary purpose of promoting the craft of felt- be you a beginner or a professional.
3) This exhibition is primarily online- with a proposed date of showing in August 2021 as part of the DCCI 50th anniversary celebrations. COVID restrictions allowing and in conjunction with other organisations such as DCCI or other GANS groups we will strive to find a physical space to show all the members pieces together- in autumn of 21 or New year 22 as the situation allows.
