Founded over 20 years ago, the Inis Artists group currently comprises of twelve talented local artists who meet regularly to organise exhibitions and events throughout the west of Ireland and to highlight their members’ work.

So far this year, Inis Artists have exhibited their work in St John’s Art Centre, Listowel; Clare Museum, Ennis; the Bank of Ireland, Limerick; Roots Restaurant, Kilcolgan; Fermoy Library and Cashel Library. They have also continued to hold smaller displays in local cafés and restaurants in Bunratty, Barefield and Tulla. The Shannon Town Centre shopping centre also features a permanent display of the members’ work which is updated seasonally.

Earlier this year, some members of the group produced a special art exhibition in conjunction with the county biodiversity officer to help focus on the lesser horseshoe bat. This collection has been shown in Ennis, Shannon, Kilrush and Kilkee libraries and will be on display inside Scarriff library at the same time as their new gallery exhibition.
