A special art exhibition will take place at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Donegal tomorrow to showcase works by popular local artist, Joe Carlin.
Joseph (Joe) was an extremely talented artist from the Crossroads, Killygordon.
He sadly died from cancer on September 18, 2021, at the age of 54.
Joe worked at ATU Donegal (formerly LYIT) for many years and was known on-campus for his kind, friendly and positive nature.
A self-taught artist, of many different styles and media, Joe created scores of pieces, and some of these will be showcased at the on-campus event in Letterkenny from 11am to 4pm tomorrow (Saturday).
More than 40 of Joe’s art displays have been kindly loaned back to the Carlin family for the day and will be showcased at this event.
All donations will go to the Oncology Day Unit, a service that supported Joe during his cancer treatment.
