New art gallery in Inishowen

A new art gallery has recently been opened in Ballyliffin next to the post office. The Glashedy Art Gallery exhibits the wealth of local artists from around the peninsula and also has some of the finest photographic images of the area on display.

"It's long been an ambition of mine to open a gallery for the artists," explains owner Des Kemmy, whose worked in the framing business and photography over the years inspired him to start the project. "We get thousands of visitors every year here in Ballyliffin with all the hotels and its great to have another attraction for them to visit as well as the beach, the famine village or the golf course. It's opened all year, so come in anytime and browse around."

Mr Kemmy says that he has had a lot of interest in the gallery and that he has been getting a lot of positive feedback. He hints that he has further plans to expand the project, but for now he is keeping them under his hat.

There will be an official opening of The Glashedy Art Gallery at some point in the near future.
