FUSION Exhibition

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

7 members of the group are taking part in this exhibition which is part of the Bealtaine Festival in Co. Meath. It is a celebration of creativity in older age and the works exhibited have been mentored by artist and Baeltaine ambassador Robert Ballagh during two workshops at The Venue, Ratoath in April. 10 members of the Ratoath Community Art Group also took part in the workshops and will be exhibiting their paintings. It has been a brilliant opportunity to work with a celebrated Irish artist and a very exciting process.

The exhibition is at the Toradh Gallary , Civic Offices , Ashbourne, Co. Meath and will be opened by Robert Ballagh and Cllr. Nick Killian on Thursday 15th May 2008 at 7.30 pm
