CUIMHNÍ, AN exhibition of paintings and prints by artists Leah Beggs and Kathleen Furey, opens tomorrow at the Courthouse, Oughterard.
The exhibition title is the Irish word for memory, and the works that will be displayed by Beggs and Furey - who are both based in Oughterard, are a response to the area’s archaeology and history, combined with their own imaginings and personal experiences of their locality.

The exhibition was due to take place last year as part of the Galway 2020 Small Towns Big Ideas Project, Set in Stone, which invited local artists and groups to respond to research by archaeologist Bill Daly and replica material created by Brendan Hodgers.
Cuimhní runs until July 25. It can be accessed via www.ocap.ie See also www.leahbeggs.com and www.kathleenfurey.com
