Amharc - to look, to see

Galway City Council Night-Time Economy is delighted to present Amharc Ar, meaning to look, to see. Five art installations in shop fronts by renowned Irish artist Rita Duffy. Five windows in businesses will be transformed into miniature stage sets.

The windows will house ‘reanimated furniture’ as unique magical installations, windows with digital screens will present animated drawings. As winter casts its chilly spell on Galway, we invite you to take a walk and find these beautifully lit ‘alternative shop’ windows. Each art work is its own surreal little theatre, celebrating the darkness, inviting the passerby to stop and look.

Thank you to the following businesses for their engagement, support and partnership in making this project possible:

• AIB, Lynch's Castle, Shop St

• Claddagh Credit Union, Mainguard St

• Murphys Ice Cream Shop, High St

• An Phoblacht, William St

• KAI Restaurant, Sea Rd
