An Bhainis
Sa bhliain 2003 d’iarr An Gailearaí cuidiú ar mhuintir na háite, bhí siad ag iarraidh a gcuid cultacha bainise a fháil ar iasacht le go bhféadfadh coimeádaí an Ghailearaí taispeántas suiteála a fhorbairt dar teideal ‘An Bhainis’. D’éirigh thar barr leis an seó seo agus bhí an rannpháirtíocht agus líon na ndaoine iontach. Ba é an dearthóir faisin Ciarán Sweeney, as Ard an Rátha ó dhúchas, a sheol an taispeántas agus bhí fáiltiú seaimpéine ann do na rannpháirtithe.
mar cheiliúradh ar 25 bliain ar an fhód cuirfidh An Gailearaí taispeántas suiteála den chineál céanna ar bun arís ach, mar a tharla le himeacht ama, beidh difríocht idir an suiteáil seo sa mhéid is go léireoidh sé na hathruithe cultúrtha laistigh dár bpobail. Is mian leo baill nua ár bpobal, póstaí den ghnéas céanna agus gach rud eile a chur san áireamh. Mar sin, má tá culaith ghalánta pósta agat a shíleann tú a chuirfeadh leis an seó seo, smaoinigh ar é a thabhairt ar iasacht do An Gailearaí mar is amhlaidh is fearr an éagsúlacht.
Ar mhaith leat a heith páirteach san imeacht seo? Ta muid ag cuartú gunaí agus cultacha pósta. Tabharfar achan rud ar ais i ndiaidh an taispeánais.

An Bhainis – The Wedding
In 2003 An Gailearaí called upon the locals to lend the gallery their wedding dresses so that the curator could develop an installation exhibition entitled ‘An Bhainis’ or ‘The Wedding’. This show was a huge success and the participation and footfall was amazing. The exhibition was launch by fashion designer and Ardara native Ciarán Sweeney that included a champagne reception for the contributors.
To mark their 25th anniversary, An Gailearaí will once again mount a similar installation exhibition but, as with the advancing of time, this installation will differ in that it will reflect the cultural changes within our communities and so they wish to include our newer community members from afar, same sex weddings and the whole gambit. So, if you have a wonderful wedding outfit that you think would enhance the show do think of lending it to An Gailearaí as the more varied is all the better.
Would you like to take part in this event at An Gailearaí? We’re looking for wedding dresses and suits. All will be returned after the exhibition!
