Free history exhibition in Clare library by local artist

The exhibition will be on display at the glór gallery, located upstairs, until Saturday, 13th January, 2024. Visitors to the exhibition can also enjoy an artist’s tour of the exhibition on Saturday, 9th December 2023, at 10:30am.

A screening of two films – ‘The Battlefield’ by Emile Dinneen and ‘The Ballad of the Crimson Warrior’ by Mike Hanrahan, followed by a Q&A session with Mick, Emile and Mike, will take place after the artist’s tour.

Clare Libraries County Librarian, Helen Walsh, stated, “The artist’s deep engagement with the Decade of Centenaries period is evident in ‘Divided Loyalties’, providing a unique perspective on this pivotal time in Irish history.”

Decade of Centenaries Coordinator and Senior Executive Librarian, Dolores Meaney, added, “Culture and creativity helps us to connect with history and understand our role in it. We extend a warm invitation to all to explore these seminal works, providing a nuanced perspective on a tumultuous chapter in Irish history.”

This cultural initiative is made possible with the support of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries programme.

All events are free, and all ages are welcome to attend
