Exhibition: Mayo God Help Us! Launch on Saturday, October 31st at 7.30pm

Delighted to have had work selected for this exhibition - Mayo God Help Us! Launch on Saturday, October 31st at 7.30pm. Mayo God Help Us! is one of the most enigmatic of Irish catchphrases, the origins of which remain shrouded in uncertainty and argument. Some of the country’s leading visual artists have attempted to unravel the age old phrase via this exhibition. Almost two hundred artists, who live or have lived in County Mayo responded to a challenge to engage with the phrase “Mayo God Help Us” by producing work which would explore and capture the underlying essence of the expression - as they interpreted it. This challenge and brief was set by Rosemarie Noone, Director of Claremorris Gallery, in collaboration with Gaynor Seville of Mayo County Council’s Arts Office. It drew an immediate response from the artistic community and Catherine Marshall, former head of Collections at IMMA and Patrick Murphy, director of the RHA have selected this strong exhibition which includes the following artists: Breda Burns Peter Burns Aoife Casby Mags Duffy Laura Gallagher Michael Gannon Pauline Garavan Virginia Gibbons Marliese Hertfelder Niall Kerrigan Imelda Kilbane Jo Killalea Chris Leach Alice Maher Caroline Masterson Niall McCormack Shania McDonagh Ruth McDonnell John McHugh John McNulty Mary Noonan Niamh O'Doherty Conor O'Grady Ann O'Mahony Maeve O'Reilly Mary Patterson Paula Pohli Dermot Seymour Andrew Smyth Amelia Stein Tracy Sweeney Michael Wann Marie Wood
