Formed in 2000, the Bennettsbridge Art Group combines friendship with making art. The artists count themselves lucky to have the use of the excellent facilities in the local Community Centre.
Results of weekly meetings of this twelve strong art group will come to fruition this Friday night, when the Bennettsbridge 2024 Summer Collection will be unveiled in the local Community Centre. Be prepared for a unique visual experience which incorporates various media, including Watercolour, Collage, Pastel, Acrylic and Oils.
Each member has his/her own individual style, guided throughout by their excellent tutor, Julie Moorhouse. Artists taking part are, Marie Griffin, Tom Barrett, Joan Cleere, Mary King, Mary Dunny, Elma Khareghani, Marion Murphy, Una Gibbons, Lin Cowley, Daphne Hunt, Fionnuala Lynch and OLga from Ukraine who has been with the group for two years.
This year the artists remember in a special way, the late Mos Kharaghani who passed away during the year. Mos contributed greatly to the success of the art group and his absence is felt deeply.
The group is very appreciative of the support of the KCETB in all its endeavours and welcomes, Siobhán O’Brien (KCETB) to perform the opening.
