Yachting in Lough Ree by Mary Cosgrove will be part of the new Athlone Arts Group Christmas exhibition.

Athlone Arts group is back with Christmas exhibition

Athlone Arts Group is back on the balcony of Athlone Towncentre with a new Christmas exhibition, with thanks to Shirley and the team who have made it all possible again. It runs from December 16 to 23.

Members have been beavering away in their attic studios during the lockdown days of the last couple of years. The result is a wonderful new exhibition of work spanning all the mediums, watercolour, oil, acrylic, pastel, and print. This new exhibition entitled 'Into the Light' is a very appropriate title as the collective haven’t had an exhibition as a group for two years.

There will be a myriad of subjects covered including local scenes, still life, birds, animals etc. Artists exhibiting in the showcase are Margaret Dooley Burnell, Bernardene Moran, Molly Clancy, Mary Cosgrove, Leila Comber

Jill Parkinson, Patricia Kelly, Brid Shinners, Maura Browne and Mai Ryan.

There should be something there to please everyone. All paintings are for sale and would make a lovely Christmas present.

Why not call in for a browse we are at the top of the escalator in the Athlone Town Centre from December 16 to 23.

All very welcome.
