BORDERLANDS is an instinctive, moving and nostalgic series of abstract works, reflect
ing on the emotion derived from the country side of the northern and southern borders of Ireland. Kate Arslanian Harvey, a native
Crossmaglen artist, was raised in the town land of Drummuckavall. She has been living between France and Ireland for just over 30
years, though her Irish roots are her true inspi ration for her continued success.
Photos courtesy of Katie Piper Photography.
Working with Turning Point from Scotland Cwilt Cymru from Wales, Loose Thread
Quilters have combined to make Spirit of the Celts. The theme was chosen to embrace myth, legend and any other aspect of cultural history which might inspire the individual artist.
The exhibition has been shown in
Birmingham, Scotland, and now in Northern Ireland. It will also travel to Wales. A unique opportunity to see the work of 26 artists from across these two islands demonstrate this craft: form within a modern idiom.
Open Monday to Saturday, 10am - 5.30pm & event nights.

We generally don't descend from the sky.
But we still do our best to help you out with your car insurance.
Our accident assistance service is available to you 24 hours a day and
includes cover for towing your car to the garage if it is immobilised after
the accident.
Even if your car simply won't start in the morning, don't worry, we can be
there too with our doorstep assistance service.
All of this comes as standard on our comprehensive car policies and you'll get a 10% discount, just for purchasing new car insurance online.
No big deal, just a good deal.

New from Word we// Books
Exhibit Ireland: ethnographic collections in Irish museums (pb,
€29). Seamas O Sfochain, Pauline
Garvey and Adam Drazin (eds). This
book introduces the reader to key collections of ethnographic objects held in museums in Ireland, including the NMI, the Ulster Museum, and the
Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. It
describes the history of both folk-life
and exotic collections and reflects on
their changing significance during various phases, including the rapidly
changing island of our own day. ISBN 9781 905569 53 3
The fusion of Neo-Classical principles
(pb, €35). Edited by Linda Mulvin.
These essays make a wide-ranging and stimulating contribution to
current scholarly debates about the
nature of Neo-Classicism, that
critical cultural development that
signals the arrival both of
recognisable modernity and of
internationalism in the western
tradition. The essays have been
written by some of the leading
experts on the subject. ISBN 978 1 905569 55 7

WILLIAM BURTON CONYNGHAM \ ami
His lris\ Citcld of Antiqu&rian Artists
In the midst of a resurgence of pride in Ireland's history
during the 18th century, William Burton, later Conyngham, strove to emulate his British counterparts in producing albums of engravings illustrating the beauties of the
country's heritage. In its day, Burton Conyngham's was
regarded as the most significant collection of such drawings in Ireland. This beautiful volume reconstructs that
important and extensive collection, cataloguing more than
600 drawings and engravings.
