Capture – The Place for Fine Art Photography in Sligo, Ireland
Sligo's only Gallery dedicated to Photography
Current Exhibition:
Eden
"Eden", is a collection of photographs by Anita McGarry, shot between 2006 and 2010. The whole project was started by Anita's desire to create paintings with unrealistic colours. In her eyes the best basis for that was grey, as it would leave her the freedom to produce the paintings with the colours of her choice- free of influence from the subject matter. Anita had realised that by using harsh lighting she would get greater contrast to the greys and therefore have a map effect in which to colour.
Capture a Sligo Summer Moment
The Western Development Commission (WDC) has launched a photo competition to capture a Sligo summer moment as part of its LookWest.ie initiative to promote the Western Region as a great place to live, work and do business.
The competition, in association with Capture and Sligo Chamber of Commerce, will take place as part of the summer programme of festivals and events and LookWest.ie wants people to share their most inspiring, exciting, fun-filled photos capturing the perfect Sligo Summer moment. Landscapes, surf-scapes, festivals, gigs and summer fun-filled shots – the competition will capture the buzz and magic of Sligo and the organisers are especially looking forward to seeing great photos from the Lissadell concerts and surrounding fringe events.
Ian Brannigan, Development Manager at WDC said: “This July, all eyes are on Sligo for sunshine, surf, sailing, GAA and, above all, the eagerly anticipated Leonard Cohen and Westlife concerts at Lissadell House. We are asking people to get out their cameras and show how their county shines. Simply ‘snap and send’ your images via www.lookwest.ie or email photos to photos@lookwest.ie“ Read More »
