About 'LEGACY' 
Sisters Susan and Elizabeth Yeats were in the vanguard of the revival of Irish art and artisan crafts in the early part of the last century.  As print artists they published many of the great Irish writers of their time including their brother W.B. Yeats, through their printing company Cuala Press. Elizabeth also authored a number of stunningly illustrated books on how to paint flowers using watercolours. Susan was born in Enniscrone, Co. Sligo in 1866, we celebrate the 150th year since her birth with the inaugural exhibition from this first National Fine Art Print Competition.

LEGACY is organised by Hamilton Gallery in association with Tread Softly Festival, Yeats Day, Sligo County Council Arts Service and the Western Development Commission.

You are cordially invited to attend the opening of A Terrible Beauty is Born, tonight Thursday 2nd June  2016 at 6pm. 

Hamilton Gallery invited Ireland’s leading contemporary artists to create an image 20cm x 20cm inspired by W. B. Yeats’s poem Easter, 1916. The exhibition A Terrible Beauty is Born features the work of over 70 visual artists. It is a dynamic, provocative and comprehensive response, 100 years on, by the shapers of our contemporary visual arts culture to the events of 1916, with W. B. Yeats' iconic Easter, 1916 poem used as a springboard.

Hamilton Gallery invites you to attend the opening celebration of "Song Lines" an exhibition of fine art prints by Daniel Lipstein and Niall Naessens.

Daniel Lipstein and Niall Naessens, two etchers, share much besides their passion for making prints. Both artists make images that are landscape or nature based but with a suggestion of an event, somewhere else from beyond where they aim to take the viewer.
The imagery of their work issues from their respective rural environments in the Midlands and the West of Ireland. The title Song Lines suggests there is narrative and music in their work and references the etching and drawing element they employ. And of course the aboriginal songlines underlying the spiritual or subconscious relationship with the earth we walk on. Their musical journey of lines also includes the territories of the ocean and the sky.

Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome so please do bring a friend.
