Over 300 people turned up to the opening of the ‘Harvest Art Exhibition’ held at Ballymaloe House on Wednesday (11th August 2010) Mayor Mary Linehan Foley, Sheila & Nick Loughnane, Katie & Johnny Fitzgibbon and artist Eileen McGoldrick all from Youghal.
The broad range of work on view in this exhibition fully represents the exciting artistic life of Cork and its environs, and is a wonderfully engaging and authentic reflection of a genuinely vibrant cultural scene.
