‘Faces of Sligo Town’ Photographic Exhibition

By Photographer James Fraher,

Hawk’s Well Theatre, Temple St Sligo

‘Faces of Sligo Town’ is a commissioned photographic project by Sligo Arts Service, Sligo County Council for the Bealtaine Festival 2012. The work is based on Sligo town shops and the people who run them. The theme of the project celebrates the generational link in family run shops which, over the years, continue to give character and a face to our streets. Twenty premises from barber, jewellery, sweet to clothing shops took part in the project over a three month period. Running alongside the Exhibition in the Hawk’s Well Theatre is a photographic window exhibition; project shops will display a A2 photographic work .This is part of ‘Sligoe 400’, celebrating Four Hundred Years of the Borough of Sligo.

As you walk around town over the next month keep an eye out and see if you can spot all twenty premises. 

The Exhibition runs till May 31^st.
