An eleven-day art exhibition titled 'Triptych' will open on June 12 at the Old Courthouse Gallery in Kinvara, featuring artists Gabrielle Murphy, Janet Buell, and John Kennedy. The show runs through June 22 and includes works in textiles, pastels, sculpture, painting, and collage, with interactive activities such as punch-needle embroidery and print-making. Belinda Deutinger, a local visual artist, will launch the exhibition on opening night.
The exhibition matters because it builds on the success of the artists' 2024 show at the same venue, which drew 1,000 visitors and set a record for the gallery. It also highlights the ongoing vitality of the artist-led cooperative Kinvara Area Visual Artists (KAVA), which recently marked its tenth anniversary, and underscores the role of community galleries in fostering local artistic engagement and accessibility.
