House, Home and Gallery (The Lamb family) invite

Details

Created: 17 April 2022

Below we have attached an invite for an Art Exhibition opening in The Armagh County Museum on Friday 29^th April at 7pm.

You may be wondering why this should be significant and the reason why is because this is an exhibition which features a lovely collection of drawings, paintings and sculpture by a number of celebrated Armagh and Ulster artists that have lined the walls of James & Mary Lamb’s 1 Hartford Place home over the years. There are also a few works by their son Paddy and their granddaughter, Claire (both resident in Canada) and other pieces associated from their travels to Canada.

James & Mary’s contribution to ATG over the years is immense and they would be delighted to see familiar faces on the night. Paddy will give a short intro on the night and the exhibition will run until June 5^th. If you would like to attend the opening please RSVP as per the email address on the attached invite.
