West Kerry artists bite the Big AppleThe work of six West Kerry artists will be among the work of twenty-seven Kerry artists which will be showcased in the Big Apple this Thursday and Friday night (March 20th/21st) in a special exhibition at the Magnan Projects Art Gallery in New York City. West Kerry artists Deirdre McKenna, Liam O'Neill, Pat Hennessy, Carol Cronin, Mary Neville and Michael Flaherty will all submit work to the exhibit, which was organised by North Kerry TD (and former Kerry Football great), Deputy Jimmy Deenihan along with Tralee-born artist Padraig Tarrant, who is now based in NYC. The exhibition is being held in conjunction with the Seán MacCarthy Festival weekend, as all the artists exhibiting participated in last years festival held in Finuge. "Hopefully this exhibit will give out a strong message to the artistic community in New York that Kerry is not only one of the most beautiful parts of the world to visit but also one with a thriving visual arts community" said Deptuy Deenihan. More information on the exhibit is available at the Magnan Projects website:www.magnanprojects.com and at the Seán MacCarty Festival website, www.finugeweekend.com.
