Award-winning Inishowen artist Rikki Louise van den Berg is thrilled to unveil Moville’s first-ever art gallery, the Glen Art Studio and Gallery. The grand opening takes place on Saturday, June 8th, from 2pm to 6pm, at Bonner’s Corner on the town square. This exciting event coincides with “I Love Inishowen Day,” making it a perfect celebration of local art and community.
Rikki describes her art as “a deeply personal response to the stunning landscapes and seascapes of Inishowen.” She wants to share her interpretation of her beloved Inishowen with the local community. “I am passionate about bringing the arts closer to the community and making it more accessible.
So, in addition to displaying my work, I will also be running arts classes from the gallery, for all levels of ability.” The gallery is in a great central location so it’s easy to find, and people can just stroll in for a coffee and a chat, says Rikki. The gallery will offer a range of small and large paintings, as well as handmade greeting cards and jewellery.
