Athenry Mart

An artist and neighbour of mine, Kathy Ross has some of her work in a very unique exhibition by Athenry M Artists Group-local artists. The art features the mart (the cattle, people and the mart building itself) and is on display in one of the mart rings. It’s the perfect environment to house the exhibition as the mart is an integral part of Athenry town. Visitors can associate to the art more as there’s cattle, farmers around them and they are in the buildings featured in the art.

I visited the exhibition recently and experienced my first cattle mart as well. What can I say about it? It’s an experience & a man’s world; the musical, almost singing voice of the auctioneer, the farmers, cattle and surprisingly quick sales.

Buy a photograph print for charity (Santa Claus is coming to town)

In l. Text by admin / December 10, 2012 / 0 Comments


I’m getting to this a bit late as tomorrow is the last day to bid.

The BOARDS.ie 2012 Photo Book was launched on Saturday 1st December and contains the images submitted by the wonderful users of the Boards.ie Photography forum.

This PRINT AUCTION is organised to raise additional funds for the Santa Strike Force – which was helped set up by Tom Murphy (DeVore) one of the founding members of Boards.ie. The SSF are a really cool charity: in the run-up before Christmas, they start quietly collecting toys and when the big day comes, all the SSF elves help Santa to hand out presents to kids who are staying in not-so-nice places. Places likes hospitals and care-centres.

HOW TO BID
Please place your bid (minimum bid is €25 and includes postage) in the comment below each photograph (link below) or email it to boardsbook@gmail.com

If bidding by email, include the title and user name as it appears in both the book and the photo on pix.ie. If you would like to bid to a maximum, state what your maximum bid would be and we will then comment on your behalf on pix.ie in increments of €5 up to your maximum. E.g. If the maximum amount you want to bid is €50 and actual highest bid at auction is €30, you will get it for €35.

You will receive an email if your maximum bid is exceeded prior to the auction.
Here’s the link to the site with full details and for bidding.
