CULTURE NIGHT REVISITED

The video produced by Michelle Fullam of Signal Art Centre.

Also I must apologise for incorrectly spelling the name of our poet visitor, Kerrie O'Brien did a reading of a poem at Signal Art Centre on Culture night.  Her poem Blossoms was chosen as the winning entry in the Emerging Talent category of the 2011 Yeats Poetry Competition.  Her new poetry book Out of the Blueness is now available on her website www.kerrieobrien.com

FRANCES BROSNAN "HIDDEN BEAUTY" OCTOBER 9 TO SUNDAY OCTOBER 21ST

'Hidden Beauty' is an exhibition based on a visual response to a series of photographs taken through a microscope. Slides of plant cells were placed under the microscope and then photographed. The works in this exhibition are an interpretation of these images using ceramics and mixed media.
Scientific equipment has given us the opportunity to explore the hidden beauty and mystery of plant cells. With the aid of a microscope the hidden minute structures of plant cells can be exposed to reveal a world of great beauty and complexity.
The intention was not to 'reproduce' what was viewed under the microscope as the artist believes the beauty and complexity of nature cannot be replicated. The artist's love of texture and colour was a major factor in her interpretation of these images.

Super Opening night.  Gregg did the honours describing Fran's determination, experimentation and dedication to her work.  Congratulations to Fran on a fabulous show.

CULTURE NIGHT SIGNAL ARTS CENTRE HANDS ACROSS BRAY

Some of the photos for that fabulous night!

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!
