The Tides Goin' Out features a collection of old photographs of Kinvara from the Christy Greene Collection, presented by Martin Greene.

Christy Greene (1899-1969) was born in Kinvara. He ran Greens Pub and Grocery with his brother, Sonny, and took photographs as a hobby.
His son, Martin, became the proud guardian of his father’s work and has spent many of his free hours visiting the older generation trying to learn about and identify the people depicted in the photographs. He hopes the local community will enjoy stepping back in time and might recognise or have stories around different photos.

The exhibition runs September 4–8, with the opening on Friday, 4 September at 7pm.

We are pleased to announce our next exhibition by artists Anne McNamee, McNamee and Svetlana Akusevits. Exhibition dates: 21 August –30 August
Venue: KAVA Gallery, Courthouse, Kinvara, Co. Galway H91K5T9
Opening: Saturday, 22 August at 3 p.m.
Opening by: Benita Wolfe. This summer, KAVA brings together artists Anne McNamee and Svetlana Akusevits in an exhibition that grew from curiosity and conversation. Although their artistic approaches are different, they share a love of art and a deep interest in nature, culture and the world around them. Through conversations about their ideas, inspirations and creative processes, they discovered these common threads while also recognising the different ways they respond to them. The exhibition brings these two perspectives together, inviting visitors to experience how shared interests can lead to very different and personal artistic expressions.
