Artistic endeavour

Not a boat in sight is the mischievous title of a new exhibition by artists Tess Higgins, Betty Quinlan and Gia Griffiths Howard in Galway’s Providence cafe and gallery, which may tempt those seeking a brief respite from Volvo Ocean Race week.

Out in Brigit's Garden beyond Moycullen, Beka Peralta's hanging umbrellas, Michelle Maher's ceramics (right) and work by Victoria Smith and Joan Sugrue form this year's Outside: Insight – Sculpture in the Gardens, from next Sunday, July 8th. See brigitsgarden.ie.
