‘RENEWAL’: NEW EXHIBITION AT THE WRIGHT GALLERY, WESTPORT
The Wright Gallery has just launched a new exhibition by the Wright Artist collective. RENEWAL is the title of a brand new show of paintings and prints by Breda Burns, Mags Duffy, Betty Gannon, Pam Gray, Claire Griffin, Ma...ry O’Grady, Gráinne O’Reilly, Susie Quinn, Sinéad Wall and Ian Wieczorek. This vibrant and exciting new exhibition is the second in an ongoing series planned by the locally based collective in the artist-run gallery at The Quay in Westport, located directly opposite the Custom House Studios.
The Wright Gallery opened its doors on 3rd June this year, and its official opening was attended by over 250 people. The gallery has continued to build on this success, with a steady influx of visitors both local and from further afield. “We are delighted with the way this is working out,” confirms artist Betty Gannon. “There has been great interest in our first exhibition, and now it’s time to have a total change of work. It’s important that the gallery stays fresh and that people who have visited can come back and see a completely new exhibition.” Fresh is certainly the word: RENEWAL is a show full of pleasures and surprises, bursting with colour. The show runs until 26th August, when the next show by the Wright Artists will be unveiled.
The Wright Gallery is establishing itself as a significant artistic attraction for visitors to the Quay in Westport, as well as an important artistic outlet for a group of energetic and talented locally-based artists. Come along and see for yourselves.
The Wright Gallery is open Thursday-Monday inclusive, from 11am-6.00pm daily
