Ballyferriter to host local art expo on Easter Sunday

Féile na Cásca 2009 - An Máimín - Baile an Fheirtéaraigh

Well known writer and musician, Maidhc Dainín Ó Sé, will open this year’s Féile na Cásca in An Máimín, Ballyferriter at 3pm on Easter Sunday. This year Gabriel Fitzmaurice, Maidhc Dainín, and Bríd Ni Mhóráin visited twelve primary schools in Corca Dhuibhne helping local children to create a link between literature and the visual arts by giving readings in the schools in an effort to spark their imaginations. Artists Andrew Duggan, Susan Ní Chearna, Áine Uí Dhúbhshláine and Lone Uí Raghallaigh then worked in the schools creating art works with teachers and pupils based on the writers’ readings. Along with the primary pupils’ work the exhibition will feature works from over fifty artists in a variety of styles and media. Doors open at 2pm on Easter Sunday (in Ballyferriter). All are welcome. The exhibit will run until the 19th.
