Curious about the world of art but unsure where to begin? Or perhaps you’re ready to dive deeper into the mystery of artists and exhibitions? This Samhain, join artist Mary Jo Gilligan for a special edition of Have A Gawk, where art lovers of all levels can explore the magic and mystery behind the works on display in a relaxed, fun environment.
On Friday 25th October from 2pm – 3.30pm, Mary Jo will guide the group through a journey into the exhibitions, with a focus on unravelling the meanings and stories hidden within. Engage in conversations about the artwork and enjoy playful, hands-on sessions where you’ll explore different artistic techniques. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned art enthusiast, these mindful gatherings are for everyone.
In this Samhain-themed session, together you’ll focus on conjuring colour from the shadows, finding light in the dark. Afterwards, enjoy tea and coffee as we unwind from our creative explorations. All materials are provided, but places are limited so be sure to book your spot!
