We are excited to announce our second Biennial Exhibition: an international open call group exhibition at The Ballinglen Museum of Art, Ballycastle, Co. Mayo. This call was open to all visual artists worldwide working in paint, drawing, print, sculpture, and photography.  Work was selected by a panel of three well established artists: Mick O’Dea PPRHA, Artist and Ballinglen Arts Foundation Board Member, Artist Nona Hershey and Artist Erik Mattijssen. This Biennial Exhibition marks a significant milestone in our mission to foster creative exchange and artistic innovation.
