For the culturally curious & the art enthusiasts 🎨 The Galway International Arts Festival has launched and this week had us out mixing & mingling at the official opening of The Festival Gallery. Following on from our sponsorship of the Festival Gallery in 2023, The Dean Galway has continued to support this year and we were delighted to kick off the celebrations and raise a glass to all artists & curators who also launched their exhibitions. The Festival Gallery returns to the Galway International Arts Festival line up at William Street, Galway, and showcases work by sculptor Patricia Piccinini, one of Australia’s most acclaimed artists, who has received worldwide attention for her startling sculptures, installations and digital environments. The Festival Gallery is a temporary gallery space constructed by Galway International Arts Festival. The Festival often employs a strategy of converting unique disused buildings into stunning exhibition spaces. Fancy checking it out? The Festival Gallery is located on William Street & the entrance is just behind the bronze sculptures of Oscar Wilde and Eduard Vilde. https://lnkd.in/ddRj6-fW
