Dunamaise Arts Centre invites you to escape to the great outdoors in I Was There!, an exhibition of paintings by Maria O’Brien and Jock Nichol.
The virtual exhibition, which can be viewed via the latest gallery technology on Dunamaise.ie throughout March and April is now going further afield to outdoor locations near you – the first of which was at the Abbeyleix Bog Project (from 26 March-8 April)– which will be followed by more locations around Laois including some of Coillte’s forests and recreation sites.

The Council funding supports a wide range of arts activity, including opportunities for arts organisations, festivals, community groups, schools and artists seeking funding for projects in the coming year.
