To celebrate 25 years of An Gailearaí, the gallery is inviting the community to contribute wedding attire for a special exhibition.
An Gailearaí has been a vital part of the Gaeltacht community since 1999, growing from its beginnings above a bank in Falcarragh to its current home in the Aislann Centre, Gaoth Dobhair.
Supported by the local community, Donegal County Council, and Ealaín na Gaeltachta, the gallery has hosted nearly 130 exhibitions and numerous community projects.
An Gailearaí premises in Falcarragh from 1999 to 2011.
In 2003, An Gailearaí successfully showcased “An Bhainis – The Wedding,” an installation featuring wedding dresses from locals.
This year, as part of the 25th-anniversary celebrations, the gallery seeks to create an even more diverse exhibition. To reflect the cultural changes in the community, An Gailearaí invites contributions of wedding attire from all backgrounds.
Whether it’s a traditional dress, a suit from a same-sex wedding, or an outfit from a different cultural tradition, your contribution will help create a vibrant celebration of love in all its forms.
