Hallows Gallery – An Untold Story Exhibition – Preview Evening

Such a lovely evening on 12th April for the preview night at The Hallows Gallery in Belfast for their new exhibition, ‘An Untold Story’.   My box entitled ‘Miss Henderson’ was chosen to be part of it and I was thrilled that Moyra Blayney Art was able to join me to be my official photographer! (In the first photo you can see owner, Maebh who along with her husband Dylan put on an amazing night, thanks to them both!)

 

My box was placed in the perfect little nook under the amazing curved staircase and it was wonderful to see the reactions of visitors who sat down and peeked into see what it contained.

There are over fifty artworks in the exhibition with a percentage of the profits going to a local charity Belfast & Lisburn Women’s Aid.  It will run until 12th May and is well worth a visit!
