Kilkenny writer Niamh Mulvey will be a special guest as AfterWords Collective launch their poetry and art exhibition in the Tea House, Bateman Quay, Kilkenny City at 7pm, on Saturday, June 21.
The exhibition will be open for 10 days from 11am until 5pm, and all are welcome. AfterWords is a group of Kilkenny women who have made art prompted by poetry written by one of the group. The exhibition has been curated by visual artist, Caroline Schofield.
AfterWords is very grateful to Kilkenny Arts Office for their support with this exhibition and to Rachel Botha, the Curator who programmes the Tea House and who welcomed the group so generously into this beautiful art space.

This is a unique exhibition where the poems will be displayed alongside the art that was made. The dynamic between these two art forms is vibrant. Visitors to the exhibition will see how word imagery migrates into visual images. They will also see how the poems act as spring boards into visual art.
Everyone is invited to come along to the historic Tea House, situated on the banks of the River Nore in the heart of Kilkenny City. Take a step out of your day and enjoy the work of these artists on display from June 21.
