Boyle Arts Festival 2008
Fri July 25th July to Fri 1st Aug

Local Amateur Arts Exhibition

With the aim to provide a forum for artists who otherwise find few opportunities to display their work, BAF Open Submission Exhibition has grown from a local base of talent to attract entries from all over Ireland, the West being particularly strongly represented. The work is selected on merit, without favouring style and has, to date, shown a wonderful cross section of representational, sculptural, textural, abstract and mixed media works. Entries have been selected from part time, full time and occasional artists, giving a unique blend and a certain standard of excellence. A list of the selected artists will be available at the exhibition itself. Entrants are judged for three prized and the Éilís Kilgallen Award for the most promising young artist < 25. All works must be available for sale.
