Traditional Guest Tea takes place at the Highlanes

THE second Bealtaine or Maytime event at the Highlanes gallery is a ‘Guest Tea’, but with a difference.

In the spirit of hospitality, friendship and identity, it offers an opportunity to engage with the many cultures in our community today. Through the old format of a traditional ‘Guest Tea’ you can share the typical food, song, dance, music and dress of your culture.

‘An Act of Hospitality can only be Poetic’ is the title of Highlanes Gallery’s exhibition, which opened on Wednesday 2 May. The exhibition presents works that respond to the themes of hospitality, identity, friendship and the multitude of journeys and conflicts encountered to achieve them.

Connecting with this exhibition as part of the Bealtaine Festival, celebrating age, arts and creativity in the community, Highlanes Gallery are hosting two special events in May, and wish to extend informal invitations to individuals and organisations.

If you would like to be part of the ‘Guest Tea’ on Thursday 31st of May from 10.3012.30pm, please contact Hilary at Highlanes Gallery on 9803311 or email reception@highlanes. ie
