Ealaíon
Vortex through a Portal 
7 October to 11 November 2023

A collection of recent artwork by Ealaíon, representing the strands of process and exploration by individual group members, curated by Becky Keyser, the groups artist facilitator. The pieces have evolved out of each participant’s natural curiosity and commitment to their own creative path.

Ealaíon is an Art Group based at 49 North Street in Skibbereen. The group sessions place an emphasis on enjoyment and harmony – there is always music playing and the setting is friendly and relaxed, giving people the freedom to chat, or be quiet while they make art.

A wide variety of art materials are provided, and ideas and subject matter evolves out of facilitated exploration. Sometimes people come with their own ideas, and other times guided.The atmosphere is one of support and encouragement that allows your art to blossom. No previous experience is required and people often surprise themselves at what they are capable of…and what treasures lie within.- Becky Keyser
