The group was founded back in 1999 when some artists who were part of the Clare Crafts Association decided to set up their own group. They have been extremely active ever since with up to 14 exhibitions around the country every year. Some of the original founding members are still part of the group such as Denise Borge and Tomás O’ Maoldomhnaigh.

The late Sonia Schorman had a leading role in the setting up of the group. The main aim was to promote the visual arts in Munster; the group includes a number of Limerick and Clare artists.  It was she who decided that artists should come together and form a sort of cooperative to organise and display their works in as many places as possible. She recognised the difficulty of artists on their own trying to find venues and put enough works together for an exhibition.  So far the group has exhibited in three of the four Provinces.

They invite everyone to come and see all the new works in their ‘On solid Ground’.

There will be up to 30 works on sale which will consist of landscapes, townscapes figurative pieces and, in many mediums including oils, watercolours and acrylics. There are a wide variety of works produced, representing the diverse techniques and versatility of the group.

The artists all accept commissions including portraits and would be delighted to discuss any potential paintings.
