Athy Art Group Exhibition 2011
Last Updated: 09 Jun 2011
Our 2011 Exhibition was opened on Tuesday night and was a resounding success. Our exhibition hall was packed with visitors and our special guest, the 2010 Rose of Tralee, Ms Clare Kambamettu, opened our exhibition. The Athy Art Group is incredibly grateful to Clare for giving her time to open our exhibition and made this year's opening night a very special occasion.
A short video was recorded on the night and can be viewed below.

One of our founding members, Liam Rainsford, has been busy in the lead up to this year's exhibition. Not only has he been painting a fine selection of oil paintings, he has also been writing about his techniques on his blog and recording tutorial videos for YouTube.
Liam is a long time oil painting instructor, giving many oil painting classes and demonstrations for Athy Art Group through the years. If you are interested in taking up oil painting or wish to improve upon your oil painting, this is a great resource to have.
Liam's blog is at: liamrainsford.wordpress.com and his YouTube channel contains all of his tutorial videos.
