Inis Artists celebrate 20th anniversary with spring exhibition

21 March 2019

The 15 members of The Inis Artists will officially open their 2019 touring exhibition calendar with a colourful display of paintings at Scariff Library Gallery from the 2nd to 27th of April.

‘Kaleidscope’ is The Inis Artists’ spring exhibition and coincides with the group’s 20th anniversary.

The latest exhibition features 75 works on sale comprising landscapes, townscapes figurative pieces and, in many mediums including oils, watercolours and acrylics. There is a wide variety of works produced, representing the diverse techniques and versatility of the group.  

The Inis Artists was founded in 1999 when a group of artists who were part of the Clare Crafts Association decided to set up their own group. They have been extremely active ever since having hosted 14 exhibitions around the country every year.

The Inis Artists members include both professional and highly talented amateur artists based in Clare. The Inis Artists represents some of the major representational artists in Clare today. The group was formed to promote visual art not only in Clare but throughout Ireland. To this end they regularly exhibit in 3 of the 4 provinces. Admission to the society is by selection and this normally takes place each year, at a time close to the annual AGM.

Some of the well-known artists include Tom Daly, Margaret Ray, Tomás O‘Maoldomhnaigh, Alan Shoosmith, and Gerardine O’Leary. The artists all accept commissions including portraits and would be delighted to discuss any potential paintings.
