Stop by the Art Gallery for an art exhibit and demo from Wicklow artist Róisín O’Farrell, along with a members’ exhibit by IAHC artists, and Philip Groark in the Founders Room on the second floor showcasing Philip's oil paintings and pen and ink work, and other Heritage Center members artwork.

On Sunday, from 1:30pm-3pm, O’Farrell will host a demonstration of her painting techniques and how she creates her art.
