Build-up continues to annual art exhibition in Tipperary
Group’s exibition will be launched in Clonmel on June 9
South Tipperary Art Group (STAG) adult artists are very busy at the moment putting the finishing touches to their artwork for the launch of the group’s 58th Annual Art Exhibition in Clonmel Library on Tuesday June 9.
Two of the STAG work team have been restoring and repainting statues for Powerstown Church and cleaning has commenced on some old abstract canvases for the council.
The mosaics and murals are now in situ in the children's section in Clonmel Library and have been welcomed by all the children who visit the library on a regular basis.
Sales of paintings have been taking place in Befani's Restaurant, with two sold recently, and also in The Showgrounds Shopping Centre. All STAG artwork, not already on the STAG web page, was photographed earlier this week.
Junior STAG’s Primary group (nine years to Sixth Class) will have Ellie Kennedy in attendance for special Art courses for the next few weeks.
Ellie is a graduate of Limerick College of Art and Design and a native of Clonmel, who came to Junior STAG for many years and whose dad, artist John Kennedy, was also a Junior STAG member many moons ago.
The seniors are continuing their acrylic paintings so please bring in all your art materials, including your acrylic paints and brushes, for the next few weeks.
