Solid Foundations at The Ballinglen Museum of Art
Join us to look at the beginning of The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, visit The Ballinglen Museum of Art and The Old School.
Museums are usually boxes bounded by walls on which to hang works of art. Each work is a window into another space, emotion, sensation, story transcending boundaries in spite of being confined to a stark wall. One of our goals in working on the design of this Museum was permeability: views inside from the street, views out to the street from the galleries, expansive views of infinite land, sea and space from the top floor.’
- Margo Dolan, Co-founder, Ballinglen Arts Foundation
Join us to look at the solid foundations that Margo Dolan and Peter Maxwell laid down when they set up The Ballinglen Arts Foundation in 1992 to bring professional, established artists and younger artists of recognized ability, from Ireland and from abroad, to live and work in North Mayo to benefit both the artists and the community.
