    I've a new gallery opening in Limerick on Wednesday (8th) in The Milk Market in the city centre. Scarlett68 is the inspiration, brains and management behind the operation and I'm artistic director.

    The gallery will be a permanent home for my own work but we'll also be rotationaly hosting other local artists working in different mediums.

    For Boards.ie we hope that at some point we can do ocassional exhibits of members' work. We'd like to arrange that members from the west of Ireland come together and put on collective displays at some point in the future and we'll start a thread about such when the space is available.

    The gallery is called Elalgallery and facebooked here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Elalgallery/163396090347668?ref=mf

    The official launch with wine and stuff is in late January / early Feb but the shop is opening on Wednesday the 8th of Dec so if you're in or about Limerick city then drop in and say hello.

    Just a heads up, while we are opening tomorrow it will be a bit all over the place as it will takes us a few weeks to get fully stocked up so do indeed drop by but you will be looking at a work in progress with regards to stock etc. It's next door to the Kaos cafe.

    I'll be there myself from 1 onwards.

    Didn't get down until much later than expected today but worked on through the evening to get it somewhat there (thanks scarlett68:)). So doors were shut most of the day. Gonna be there myself all day tomorrow from morning on until evening.

    Great news, the new Milk Market in a great spot and this is a brilliant boost for it.
    Unfortunately I've recently moved away from Limerick, and Ireland so I won't get to see the gallery for awhile :(.

    Gonna be there at least every 2 weeks but hoping every week for at leat one day.

    Today was first proper sales day and went really, really well. Still fine tuning to be done re T-Shirts, carpet, projector, signage and of course stock but in a way it's just really nice to have loads of space and not have to trying to display too much and making it too busy and fussy looking.
    Sure there's plenty of time to allow it to evolve as official launch is not for few more weeks.
