The Launch of the Exhibition `The Rough with the Smooth ‘ by the Course Director of Ceramics at Limerick College of Art and Design, Mandy Parslow, was a great success with over 40 attending. The 3 Artists , Georgina Johnston,Tipperary, Jenny Kelly, Leitrim, both Ceramic artists, with Marja Van kampen, Visual Artist, The Netherlands & Wexford, were thrilled with the Arts Centre Gallery itself, the great attention to detail in the curating of the Exhibition and the actual Launch itself where a number of artworks were sold. The Arts Centre has been complimented by many on the professional curating of the exhibition as it lifts the spirits with its joyous expressive paintings by Marja, its nature inspired porcelain by Jenny and connections to our heritage with the clay Axe heads/Standing stones by Georgina. The Exhibition is open Tues. to Fri. 10 to 5 p.m. & Sat 10. To 2p.m. Admission FREE. Well worth a visit!
