On Friday, 5th Oct. 2018 at Cork’s School of Music, Union Quay the official launch of the Adrivale Painters Exhibition took place in the presence of many Artists, the Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork, Family and Friends including a visiting Bishop, famous Sports People and a gifted pianist from Ardmore, Co. Waterford. The official launch was performed by the Deputy Lord Mayor while the keynote address was superbly delivered by Seán O’Riordan (formerly of Drishane Road, Millstreet) in which he very especially praised the Art Teacher Supreme – Neil Kelleher of “Adrivale”, South Douglas Road, Cork. We very much recommend a visit to the excellent Exhibition before it ends in the School of Music at the end of this week. Below we share the first of a number of images recalling the most enjoyable launch which actually coincided with a wonderful Concert in the same building that night celebrating the Cork Folk Festival 2018.

Hi I have a watercolour that my great aunt Maureen doran painted when she was a young woman, who sadly passed away last November and would like to see it shared if there are any exhibitions I could bring it too as I love it means a lot.
Shaun….I shall enquire from Cork Artist, Neil Kelleher who coordinated that excellent Art Exhibition in Cork’s School of Music in 2018, if there are any further current such Exhibitions. If our search is successful I shall email you with the information.
