Calling GAA supporters!
GAA supporters may like to know there’s a very good portrait by artist Anastasia Healy O’Donoghue on offer presently from Cill Rialaig Arts Centre at a very attractive price.

The artist having had a residency at the remote Bolus Head retreat donated the painting to the oft times stressed project which still operates a rent free Residency Programme and has brought over 4000 artists from all over Ireland and the world on an all year round basis to this marginalised but beautiful area.
