ARRIVAL - Arts & Heritage Exhibition

ARRIVAL brings together new work by Anna King alongside sixteen other artists, writers and makers from Ballaghaderreen, with a special musical contribution from renowned fiddle player and composer Shane Meehan.

Together, their work forms a rich collection of creative responses inspired by the historic designed landscape of Ballindoon.

Through visual art, photography, poetic prose, sound and performance, ARRIVAL offers diverse interpretations of this remarkable landscape, with each artist's response shaped by memory, time, nature, movement and personal experience.

Situated on the shores of Lough Arrow, Ballindoon House is approached through three distinctive routes shaped by carefully composed sightlines, changing perspectives and expansive views across the lake, woodland and surrounding uplands. Each offers a different sense of arrival, encounter and place.

During her Ballindoon House residency, Anna invited artists on a series of contemplative walks along these pathways, where they spent time observing and engaging with the estate and its layered histories.

ARRIVAL is funded by the National Built Heritage Service and the Ballaghaderreen Arts Festival. You can learn more about ARRIVAL here - https://www.annaking.ie/ballindoon-house/workshop
