STAC Gallery Talk

On Saturday 19th June, several artists talked about the work they had on show. Invited artist Etaoin Holahan gave a short history of Endangered Studios, a group run on similar ethos to ours in Co. Kilkenny. This was followed by an open discussion on the creative uses for empty commercial spaces chaired by members of ArtHive.

Invite for show, reverse & front.

Our 2nd group show is open from 3rd June until the end of June courtesy of STAC, Clonmel's local arts centre. STAC is a long established art gallery so the artists didn't have to worry about preparing the space, making this a more conventional exhibition.

The shows' opening was listed in an event page in Facebook as well as being promoted by the arts centre. It helped bring in a large crowd for the opening and for the duration of the show.
