CULTURE NIGHT AT SIGNAL ARTS CENTRE SEPTEMBER 21

Tonight was a very exciting evening at Signal Arts Centre.  The artist John Cullen brought along a poem written by Paul McMahon.  The poem was an ode to one of John's paintings currently on exhibition.  The poem was read by Carrie O' Brien an exciting award winning poet who just happened to come along to Signal tonight.  John Cullen had attended a reading of Carrie's works in Sligo.  The audience was enthralled with the reading, as Carrie read the poem out in front of the painting.  It was a very magical night with a lovely number of people dropping by to look at the paintings and enjoying a glass of wine. 

Meanwhile up the town on the Main Street, the Hands across Bray was a stunning success.  I watched today as children and adults delighted in pressing a hand into plaster, something very primitive going on there.  Many of the hands were painted, coloured and sparkled.  I will be pleased to post the photographs as soon as I get them.

Congratulations to all the enthusiastic staff at Signal, the management volunteers and the Signal Arts Society who gave so willingly of their time.  A speedy recovery to Claire our super supervisor, who packed so many bags of plaster with instructions.  Another Culture Night success for Signal Arts Centre!
