Meet the New Cats and Dogs of the Kilkenny Arts Festival 2011

Thank you to all who applied to the gallery, sorry we were not able to get back to all of you individually as we are away getting our ghostly frames sun burnt and trying to get as far away from interwebiness as much as possible. We are happy to announce that The Little Ghost will be the host of a pretty exciting and honorary show. This year we will be hosts of the National College of Art & Design Graduates Show. The show which is titled 'N.ew C.ats A.nd D.ogs' will be something of unique treat indeed and worthy contender for the BEST FUCKIN EXHIBITION OF THE YEAR award.  Upon walking up the little stairs and into our little gallery you will be high 5'd In the eyes by the selection of work by some of the new and best artists that our little country has to offer. This Is the perfect opportunity for anyone who missed the NCAD Degree Show to catch a glimpse of it here. We have been wanting to get fresh new work In the gallery to bring It back to life and we really wanted It to be young and brand new. Stepping away from painting and Illustration we are so excited that some hand crafted artistic structures will haunt the space for the week and hopefully longer.  So here Is whats on offer -  

10 recent graduates of NCAD showing a selection of their work as part of Kilkenny Arts Festival. Jewellery - Glass - Ceramic - Sculpture - Photography Opening Night Saturday August 6th, 7pm all welcome! Open Daily 10am - 6pm The Little Ghost Gallery, Coach Road, Dean St, Kilkenny...

Muireann Walshe, Eimear O'Connor, Julia Schreckenbach, Anna West, Sam Hamilton, Conor O Toole, Charlene Mcfarland, Daniela Cardillo, Ruth Power, Eoghain Thomas O'Brien & Ian McDevitt.

CALL FOR EXHIBITION AND STUDIO SUBMISSIONS

Calling all artists, crafties, photographers, designers and creatives alike. We are calling out for you to exhibit In the Little Ghost for the Kilkenny Arts Festival this year. We have decided to have an open call to anyone who is interesting In having a show In the gallery. We will select the work and artist that we feel represents the gallery the best. The more different and engaging the better. We are looking for energy to be brought to the gallery to make it less ghostly and more alive. The artist must be highly motivated and willing to draw a crowd. Is this you? The gallery is In a great spot around the festival, right on the tourist trail, leading up to one of the main venues for the Arts Festival, St Canices Cathedral. The gallery gets visitors during the day and night because of Its location and is a very versatile space that can engage with the public. 
If you would like to rent the gallery space for the festival all you have to do Is the following: 

• Email the littleghostgallery@gmail.com with your intentions for your show. Attach sample pictures of your most recent work, a C.V.  and any relevant information about the show you wish to house In the gallery.
• The DEADLINE to get your submissions In to us Is July 22- THATS NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!!

We will be renting the gallery to the artist. The gallery Is rented to the artist for 3 weeks for a set fee. This gives the artist a week before and after the show to work In the gallery and have plenty of time to continue their show after the festival. 

For anymore information please email us littleghostgallery@gmail.com or you can contact us by phone on 0851032909

Little Ghost Vancancies - Apply Within

The Little Ghost Gallery has been a little more ghostly than usual over the past few months. After having many a cup of tea with a sit down chat followed by the ever more serious stand up hand signal chat, we have decided that we are going to make the Little Ghost a more creative place full time. With our ever growing work loads and the distance from home we have agreed that we would like to have someone with similar interests, ideas and intentions as us move into the space and make that their creative home.
The gallery is now a blank space which we intend on transforming into a studio space all depending on the artists studio needs. 
The studio will be available to rent for exhibition for the Kilkenny Arts Festival which is now open for application. 
If you would like to apply for the Little Ghost Studio we need the following from you:

• A brief description of your practice and work to date.
• Your intentions for the space and studio needs
• 3-4 images of your most current work 
• Your favourite animal and song
• A current C.V.
