Collective Exhibition at the Burnavon

Long Term Exhibition  | Admission Free

Collective has been created to provide local professional artists with an exhibition platform to present their work to the public on an ongoing basis. We believe that the diverse artistic talent within our district should be celebrated and this exhibition, in the first instance brings together the work of eight of our most successful artists. Many are well known, others up and coming. Both individually and collectively there is much to be proud of. We hope you enjoy this collaborative showcase.  All pieces are available for sale. 

Suil Charad Presented by Pobal

Date: Mon 6 – Fri 24 Feb / Feabhra 6 – 24  | Admission: Free

‘Is maith an scáthán súil charad’  /  ‘A friend’s eye is a good mirror’

Is ar foilseacháin i nGaeilge le breis agus 200 bliain anuas atá dírithe. Ag toiseacht amach le Bolg an Tsolair, foilsithe i 1795 i mBéal Feirste, amharcann an taispeántas ar fás agus forbairt na Gaeilge, i bhfoirm irisí, nuachtáin agus nuachtlitreacha, agus an bealach ar úsáid pobal na Gaeilge na hacmhainn seo leis an teanga a chur chun cinn.

Irish language publications from the last 200 years are the focus of this exhibition. Beginning with Bolg an Tsolair, published in 1795 in Belfast, it looks at the growth and development of the language, through the medium of periodicals, newspapers and newsletters, and how the Irish speaking community used these resources to promote the language. 

Horses for Courses

Presented by Jane McNally  |  Date: Tues 6 Mar – Fri 23 Mar  |  Admission Free

Featuring the paintings of local artist, Jane McNally who lives on a small farm at the foot of Slieve Gallion, this exhibition documents many famous racehorses, animals and the rapidly disappearing rural built heritage.   Jane began painting over ten years ago, and is inspired by the countryside around her and her keen interests in history, traditional architecture, vintage tractors, animals, and her love of horseracing. Jane says ‘My favourite artists are George Stubbs, for his understanding of horses, and Victor Ambrus, for his wonderful scruffy illustrations.’
