South Tipperary Art Group will undertake mammoth task of painting 180 feet-long hoarding

The repainting of some of the hoarding that surrounded Kickham Barracks last summer and that is now in Moyglass School has been completed.

The boards for Cuan Saor are being varnished this week and will be ready for collection shortly.

South Tipperary Art Group (STAG’s) work team has been asked to paint a mural on the 180 feet-long hoarding at St Anthony's Unit, Glenconnor Road - a mammoth task, and it’s hoped to start soon.

Welcome to three new members from the Ukraine, Nataliia, Maryna and Luda, who are all very keen and creative artists.

To buy a painting from any of the businesses that display our artwork - The Showgrounds, Befani's Restaurant, Slievenamon Golf Club, Lisronagh and Hotel Minella Leisure Centre - contact the Organiser Maureen Purcell at 086-8096823.

The Junior STAG Art Group, senior section (First Year to Leaving Cert) are completing their art books for the Clonmel Library  art project being organised by artist and library staff member Paul Ryan.  

All artbooks will be digitised and be available online and as hard copy on the shelves in the library in the next few months.

Paul Ryan has a great exhibition in Clonmel Library at the moment, which will continue until St Patrick's weekend. It's well worth a visit.

Some of the junior group’s seniors haven't completed their silk painting yet and are asked to please attend on Saturday to complete these paintings, or to collect those already finished.

Specialist tutor Almas will continue with perspective drawing with four more seniors, which will be of great benefit to those intending to do architecture in college.

The primary section (nine years to sixth class) will complete their bubblewrap paintings on Saturday.

There are four places available in the senior section for new members but the primary section is now full.

A waiting list is in operation for the next session after Easter. Contact the Organiser Maureen Purcell at 086-8096823.
