Iconic Citizens
Each May, Meath County Council Arts Office runs an extensive, creative Bealtaine Festival that celebrates creativity as we age.For 2016, the theme for the Bealtaine Festival is Iconic Citizens, which continues Bealtaine’s three-year exploration of Nationhood and Citizenship and specifically reflects on the first generations of citizens inhabiting the new Irish State.
To celebrate this, the Toradh Gallery will host a mixed media exhibition that captures the diverse and eclectic work that celebrates the visual creativity and talent amongst artists over 55 in Meath. The pieces were selected through an Open Call, where artists over 55 were invited to submit up to two pieces for consideration. Lynn McGrane, National Gallery of Ireland, curated the exhibition.
This exhibition will be held in the Toradh Gallery, Ashbourne Library and Cultural Centre from May 9th – June 3rd and will be officially opened by Jackie Maguire, Chief Executive, Meath County Council on Tuesday 17th May at 7pm.
