Last night’s opening of Le Chéile in Rhyl was perforce a relatively quiet occasion, given the appalling weather affecting most of the country, apart from a few square miles on Anglesey. Jan, Ian, Andrew, Diana, Eirian and Alison managed to get to the show and join the few other hardy souls who had ventured out to support us. We also managed to get home (as far as I know!) despite subzero temperatures: minus five degrees in Rhyl, on the promenade just yards from the sea.
Thanks to all le Chéile artists who put work into the exhibition, several of whom managed to get in to Rhyl to deliver it this week despite the snow. Thanks also to Kim Dewsbury and her team at the Denbighshire Arts Service for their professional skills in hanging the work. Especial thanks to Don for his invaluable help during the week, and for putting together a “slide show” of images for the DVD player.
No photographs of the actual opening I’m afraid, as I forgot to take any (too busy catching up on people’s snow stories), but a few “installation” shots are shown at right. Apologies to our Irish speakers, as the formating won’t allow for the foda.
