Siopa Cill Rialaig

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:11:57

On the site of a village abandoned during the Famine, this contemporary art gallery displays work by local artists and talent from around Ireland and the world. It is the shop window of the Cill Rialaig Project, which provides a retreat for creative people who pay for their stay with art.

The gallery is by the R566 at the northeastern end of Ballinskelligs. You'll spot its circular, thatched roofs and the sculpture that resembles a hallucinogenic mushroom. There's a cafe inside.
