There was a big turn out for the opening of an exhibition of paintings by Charles Lamb (1893–1964) in Aras Éanna, the arts centre on Inis Oírr in the Aran Islands. Lamb was from Northern Ireland. He was born in County Armagh and attended evening classes at the Belfast School of Art before he gained a scholarship to the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin where he studied from 1917 to 21. Like so many Irish painters of the time, Lamb was attracted to the West of Ireland where he focused on studies of peasant life in Conomara. He painted on the Aran Islands in 1928 and he settled in An Ceathrú Rua (Carraroe), where he the built a house in the Breton style in the he mid-1930s.

The paintings are part of a private collection that is owned by Laillí Lamb de Buitléar and the exhibition was curated by the contemporary glass artist Róisín de Buitléar. It was hung by Ciarán Walsh of www.curator.ie. The exhibition is the highlight of an arts programme, devised by Maighread Ní Ghallchóir and Danny Kirrane in Aras Éanna, that is dedicated to the memory of Laillí’s husband Eamon de Buitléar – the writer, musician and film maker who died in January 2013.

The Irish Headhunter: the Photographic Albums of Charles R. Browne, an exhibition by Ciarán Walsh and Dáithí de Mórdha. The photograph shows the poster for the exhibition as part of Éigse Dharach Uí Chatháin (celebration of Dharach Uí Chatháin, traditional singer*) in Áras Pobail (Community Centre) in the irish speaking community in Ráth Cairn, County Meath, Ireland. The festival took place during the weekend of 5 October, 2012. The xhibition was developed with funding by the Heritage Council of Ireland and the presented with funding from The Office of Public Works (OPW). A catalogue was published with funding from The Office of Public Works (OPW). The exhibition is now on tour to venues in Irish speaking areas of Ireland. In Decemmber it moves to the National Museum of Ireland. *Darach Ó Catháin is one of the acknowledged masters of the Connemara style of sean-nós singing. Sean nós (which means 'old style') is a highly-ornamented style of solo, unaccompanied singing in the Irish tradition. In 1975 he released an album titled "Traditional Irish Unaccompanied Singing"(Shanachie) which by wide consent is among the best sean-nós recordings ever made. His rendition of "Sail Òg Rua" particularly stands out. Darach also wrote songs from the age of twelve.
