An exhibition of drawings, paintings, sculptures and other work from artists around the globe which were inspired by the gardens and plants at Tourin, Cappoquin will be on display at the home of the Jameson whiskey family in early October.
Well-known lecturer, author and art historian, Patricia Butler, will launch ‘Garden Art from Tourin’ on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 6.30pm. The international show is the second of a series of ‘Gardens of Ireland Art Exhibitions’.
Owners, Kristin and Andrea Jameson, said several artists visited the gardens at Tourin in April and over the following months. Kristin and her artist sister, Andrea, look forward to exhibiting their work. The exhibition is the final event on the Waterford Garden Trail programme for 2016.
“We have invited twenty artists, including two sculptors, Maggie Blackley and wood turner Liam O’Neill, to exhibit their work in the garden. The paintings, drawings etc., will be exhibited in the main house and in the tea rooms, which are situated close to the Walled Garden.
The exhibition is open daily 1-5pm until October 16. For more information visit http://www.tourin-house.ie/
