Please join us this Friday, March 20th, at 2:30pm at The Ballinglen Museum of Art, Ballycastle, F26 X5N3, for the opening of GLEO – A Ballinglen Permanent Collection Exhibition. Official invitation attached.
Curated by the young artists of 5th and 6th classes from Scoil Naomh Bríd National School, this special exhibition brings together works from The Ballinglen Permanent Collection created by artists on residency (Ballinglen Fellows) alongside work created by the children themselves.
With a theme of marine biodiversity running throughout, the exhibition celebrates the sea, its life, and its presence in our coastal community.
The title chosen by the students, “GLEO,” refers to “the sound of the sea when loud and ominous, akin to loud human or machine noise, foretelling bad weather.” – Collected by Manchán Magan from Pap Murphy, Leithinis an Mhuirthead, Co. Mayo –
We invite you to come and experience this thoughtful and imaginative exhibition, and look forward to seeing you.
Exhibition supported by The Heritage Council and The Heritage Organisations Support Fund.
