THERE was a great turnout at the Kerry County Museum on Thursday evening as the Art in the Park Artists put their wonderful work on display.

Famed fashion designer Don O’Neill officially opened the group’s latest ‘Off the Rails’ exhibition titled ‘An Abundance of Colour’, which certainly lived up to its name.

Consisting of over 40 works, the paintings and photographs are in a variety of styles and are testament to the enormous talent of local artists in the community, many of whom display their work on the railings of the Town Park on Denny Street during the summer months.

Curator of the exhibition, Rebecca Lyons, thanked Helen O’Carroll, Claudia Kohler and the team at Kerry County Museum for all their help, Cliffords Cash and Carry for their kind donation for the opening reception and to Cocktail Heist Events for mixing the drinks.

Visitors can enjoy the exhibition from Tuesdays to Saturdays 9.30am to 5pm until April. With almost all of the works for sale, ranging in price from €1,000 down to €30, there’s something for all tastes and budgets. Scroll down for photos…
