Irish Festival

We would like to introduce you to our family whose sitting room we have recreated. Now we have the beautiful young red head, Caitlin and her bearded young man, Patrick and her fiddle playing and pipe smoking father, Sean. 

They have just stepped out from their living room to join in the the Wirral Irish Fringe Festival. They got a flyer about the events from The Light Cinema and I imagine they will be busy in the next few weeks joining in with the Ceili and the open mics and film showings going on.

They have a lovely screen made from artwork from Kingsway academy, a bodhrán made by Susan Boardman, fiddles by Brenda Sharp, artwork from Emma Dromgoole's students and Sue & Emma captured Patrick, Sean and Caitlin's likenesses, embroidery by Alison Bailey Smith and lots of tweed, lace and velvet from various fabric treasure troves.

Yet another window created on a shoe string from M.A.P, hope you enjoy it.

Ba mhaith linn buíochas a thabhairt duit a thabhairt isteach chun ár teaghlaigh a bhfuil a seomra suí mór dúinn athchruthú. Anois, ní mór dúinn an ceann álainn dearg óg, Caitlin agus a fear bearded óg, Pádraig agus a imirt fidil agus caitheamh tobac píopa athair, Seán.

Tá siad neartófaí díreach amach as a n-seomra suí a bheith páirteach sa an Wirral Féile Imeallach na hÉireann. Fuair ​​siad flyer faoi na himeachtaí ó An Pictiúrlann Solas agus a shamhlú agam go mbeidh siad a bheith gnóthach sna seachtainí amach romhainn ag teacht isteach i leis na Céilí agus na mics oscailte agus tSaoir scannán ar siúl.


Tá siad scáileán álainn déanta as saothar ealaíne ó Bealach acadamh, bodhrán a rinne Susan Boardman fidil, Brenda Sharp, saothar ealaíne ó mhic léinn agus Sue & Emma gabhadh Pádraig, Sean agus likenesses Caitlin, an bróidnéireacht ag Alison Bailey Smith agus go leor de bréidín Emma Dromgoole ar , lása agus veilbhit ó troves éagsúla Treasure fabraice.


Ach fuinneog eile a cruthaíodh ar teaghrán bróg ó MAP, súil tú taitneamh as.

Update from Momentary Art Project

I am sorry I have been so remiss in not updating the Momentary Art Project blog, needless to say it is due to extreme buzy-ness for all concerned at MAP central.

Big day today for all at MAP at Lidl on Leasowe Road today as artwork from Wallasey School, now Kingsway Academy is being unveiled  at 2pm.  The Mayor and Mayoress will be there and the school are putting on a show. Apparently the weather is being kind with 22 degs forecast.

During the summer, two artworks were completed through assistence from Love Wirral with two local artists Breda Whyte and Fred Biddulph working with two local primary schools, New Brighton Primary and Mount Primary working on the themes of The Lighthouse and The Black Pearl. We thank The Light Cinema for their assistance. The artworks were reproduced on poly carbon and attached to the white art deco toilet block on Harrison Drive. This is part of a series of works that we hope to produce called "Brighten New Brighton". Two of our directors have financed another artwork for the Lifeguard Station nearby, with an artwork from John Christiansen, whom we have worked previously in his former role at Mosslands School. We are hoping in the very near future that a ceramic mosic will also be joining the art work on the toilet block.

In our unit, kindly offered to us by Neptune who have continued to give us support, we have had an ongoing programme of exhibitions, viewable from the pavement. Currently we have an exhibition from Wallasey School but this will be coming down in the next few days and will be followed by an exciting exhibition from The Black Pearl and all who play in her. This will in place throughout September and part of October and will be followed by an exhibition tying in with an Irish themed festival being organised by Jo of Calico. We hope to intice artists to create irish themed artwork (but more of this later).

Our Christmas exhibition will be another communal show that everyone can get involved in with 3d flat pack baubles, we are currently working on a template that you can download and submit your final artwork.

We are also working on two huge projects with United Utilities which will be tremendous if we pull it off. So wish us all the luck in the world and keep following us on facebook through our page Momentary Art Project on facebook and Friends group Friends of MAP and on Twitter MAP on Twitter
