The annual Wexford Lions Club exhibition was officially opened by guest adjudicator and fine art painter Oonagh Latchford in Wexford Arts Centre this afternoon.
It was an occasion of celebration for local talent and offers a platform for artists who are at various stages of their careers as well as those with an interest in art who wish to see their work realised within a gallery context.
As a result of the tremendous success of last years and the remarkably high-quality work achieved received, the theme for the 2016 Lions Club exhibition has remained entirely open.
The open brief allows the participants the freedom to create exciting and original work, and to tell their own stories. These stories or experiences can be related through a varied range of subjects such as urban and rural narratives, abstraction and even pure imagination.
The annual Lions Club exhibition can be seen in the upper and lower galleries of Wexford Arts Centre until Thursday, February 5th. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
