Lanesboro sisters showcase work in Longford ‘Souvenirs from the Flatlands' exhibition

Emily and Grace Brennan from Lanesboro

Longford County Council will host the ‘Souvenirs from the Flatlands’ exhibition, opening on Friday, November 25 at 7pm in Providers building in Longford Town.


This exhibition showcases a collection of works from the Emily and Grace Brennan, who hail from Lanesboro. The exhibition is being funded and hosted by Longford County Arts Services.


County Longford is seen consistently throughout the exhibition, as the Brennan sisters returned to their homeplace for artistic inspiration. Their works offer explorations of place which are both deeply personal and concerned with environmental issues. Emily offers an examination of local systems and environmental impacts, while Grace’s works concentrate on landscapes, childhood and memory.

Both Emily and Grace graduated from fine art courses and currently live and work in Dublin. Emily is a co-founder and director of BKB Visual Arts Studio in Glasnevin.


She has recently completed a Masters in Cultural Policy. Grace is a member of Block T artists’ studios in Dublin. She works there on her preliminary painting based practice. The ‘Souvenirs from the Flatlands’ exhibition runs until Thursday, 1 December.
