With Short practical weekly art workshops from artist’s studios, gallery talks n’ walks; even their recent Elliptical Affinities symposium - artists, facilitators, curators and historians, inspiring artwork, and their own Drogheda Municipal Art Collection, offer moments and minutes of engaging distraction.
If you’ve missed Brendan Matthews talk From the Franciscans to Highlanes Gallery, tracing the lives of the Franciscans through the centuries in Drogheda, or Claire Halpin’s Roaming with Ricciardelli mapping workshop, don’t fret. You can sign up to their weekly programme on the gallery website home page www. highlanes.ie .
This week’s workshop with Julie Duhy uses the stained glass windows at the gallery for inspiration.
