First for Moville
as new art gallery opens
07.06.24
AWARD-winning artist Rikki
Louise van den Berg will officially open her new art
gallery in Moville town square on Saturday afternoon 8th
June. It will be the town's first art gallery and van
den Berg says the opening is also timed to mark ‘I Love
Inishowen Day.’
The official opening of the Glen Art Studio and Gallery
runs from 2pm to 6pm, this Saturday at Bonner’s Corner
on the square, and all are welcome, says Rikki. She
describes her art as “a deeply personal response to the
stunning landscapes and seascapes of Inishowen.” She
wants to share her interpretation of her beloved
Inishowen with the local community.
“I am passionate about bringing the arts closer to the
community and making it more accessible. So, in addition
to displaying my work, I will also be running arts
classes from the gallery, for all levels of ability.” |

The gallery is in a great
central location so it’s easy to find, and people can
just stroll in for a coffee and a chat, says Rikki. The
gallery will offer a range of small and large paintings,
as well as handmade greeting cards and jewellery.
Originally from Holland, van den Berg spent her
formative years in Ireland. In 1997, she returned to
Ireland establishing herself as a figurative and
abstract painter. Her work has received both national
and international acclaim.
If you want to attend the official opening of Glen Art
Studio and Gallery, just come along at 5pm on Saturday
8th June, says Rikki. To find out more about Rikki and
