Lee Valley artists drawn together for Macroom show

THE market town of Macroom, Co Cork, and its wider agricultural hinterland of the Lee Valley, is the focus for an exhibition entitled ‘Here and Now’.

The emphasis of the show — which is a reprise of an exhibition held last year — brings together artists who live and work in the area, but is also a look back to the inaugural 2006 survey show, ‘Time and Place’.
