Laura Gutierrez Martin, Samhlaiocht Festival Coordinator and Trish Thompson, Samhlaiocht Art Gallery Coordinator.

The Samhlaiocht Gallery has issued a call for entries from Artists interested in exhibiting as part of Samhlaiocht's 2009 Gallery programme.

"As part of Samhlaiocht's ongoing collaboration with Artists we're inviting them to submit work for consideration for our 2009 Gallery programme," said Trish Thompson, Samhlaiocht's Art Gallery Co-ordinator. "The past two years have been wonderfully successful for us in terms of exhibitions. We had more exhibitions, sold more work and discovered more talent than ever before. We're hoping that 2009 will bring more of the same and that this call for entries will attract the best and brightest up and coming artists from through out Ireland, while also attracting more established artists looking for an additional outlet for their work."

The submission is open to all Artists. Applications are invited from individual artists, or groups of artists, working in any medium for inclusion in the 2009 Samhlaiocht Gallery Programme.

The Samhlaiocht Gallery first opened in July 1999 in Maine Street, Tralee. The philosophy behind the Gallery mirrors the overall philosophy of Samhlaiocht, which is to help, promote and establish up-and coming Artists, provide an outlet for more established artists and facilitate community groups working in any artistic medium.

The New Samhlaiocht Gallery is located in the Old Presbytery on Lower Castle Street in the heart of Tralee. The Gallery is open from 10 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, is free to visit and all are welcome.
