Junior and Leaving Certificate Art students in Donegal showcased their creations in a captivating exhibition Súile Na Nóg last month.
For 23 years, the Art Teachers Association of Donegal has come together to showcase the work of Junior Certificate students, with the new addition of Leaving Certificate work.
The Regional Cultural Centre Letterkenny kindly and carefully create this exhibition space so that the students’ hard work and outstanding creations get the recognition they deserve and so that friends, family and members of the public can take in this amazing variety of work in all its creativity and glory.
It’s an exhibition for all the family with an endless variety of art in all its forms. It is sure to inspire any budding artist and current art students of all ages.
The opening of the Súile Na Nóg exhibition took place on Thursday the 17th of October at the Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny and was presented by the Donegal Art Teacher Association.
There was a wide range of extraordinary drawings and paintings as well as impressive life-like models on display, showcasing the talent and flair that these students have for art.
