forging-fool Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Here are a few photos from my first solo exhibition that opened at the Cat and the Moon gallery in Sligo, Ireland on the 28th of Feb. It runs until the 25th of March so if you happen to be in Sligo please go take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to get more smiths to approach galleries and put on exhibitions. It's the only way to move our work into the art arena.

nelson Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Michael very nice work, congratulations. Exhibiting in a gallery is definetely the way to go if an artist wants exposure within the art world... nelson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forging-fool Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I feel it is time for us all to start making the art world sit up and take notice of what we are doing. The work I have seen in the realm of blacksmithing far outstrips what is happening in the general art world, which seems to be very boring and stagnant. There has never been a better time to kick down the doors of art galleries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
