Short Summary
The Galway Fringe Fest is running at the same time as the Galway Arts Festival and Galway Film Fleadh in Galway City. It has all the ingredients of an Arts Festival and offers many artists a chance to show their work to the thousands of those who will come to Galway for the Galway Arts Festival and Volvo Ocean Race. 'A Picture A Day from Galway Bay' is a collection of limited edition fine art prints of paintings and photography from Irish based artists. Four of the six represented stem from the same family. They range in age from 21 to 81. "A Picture A Day from Galway Bay" is part of the "Art of Galway"exhibit which will be showing in the Claddagh Hall, Galway. Over 50 artist will be represented in that show. Entry is free and it runs from July 12th through the 30th. Opening hours are from 11am until 6pm.We have been listed in the programme. We have the prints made, but are in desperate need of framing. It is a rare chance for the above artists to show their work to such a large audience. It is a project very dear to my heart as it is a family project along with two very close friends. Please help us achieve our goal. All donations are welcome, we need about 1,200 euro to frame all the works.
Each contributor will recieve a letter of contribution. Pledges of 15.00 USD/Euro will recieve a jpeg image from the exhibit to print whatever size they'd like. Pledges of $25.00 USD/Euro or more will recieve a print from one of the shows. The prints get larger with larger pledges.Any Pledge of 100.00 USD/Euro will recieve a framed print from the show. All Pledges of 500.00 USD/Euro or more will also recieve a framed print and enable contributor to share a night out in Galway whenever they come.
