Contemplating Flight
An exhibition of paintings by Castlebar artist Agnes Nyland, titled Contemplating Flight, will be launched in Áras Inis Gluaire, Belmullet, on Friday, September 24, at 8pm. Nyland’s work is inspired by the landscape, the sea, birds and fantasy flights. The aim is to present threads of connections between the conscious and the unconscious, the seen with the unseen. Colour is used to accentuate the emotional connections with the subject. What we say and do often have different interpretations, and it is hoped that these works allow viewers to interpret their own visions from what is presented and to travel on wings of fantasy to wherever it may lead in their imagination. The greater joy is that of the imagination allowed to come alive. The exhibition will run until October 19.
Ballroom dance classes
All Ireland champion dancer, Sean Casey, is holding ballroom dance classes in Áras Inis Gluaire, Belmullet, on Monday evenings, from 7.30pm to 9pm. If you’d like to learn how to do the waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, tango or jive – put on your dancing shoes and go along on September 20.
