“Open Studios is always very well advertised and promoted by MAC so we always have new visitors to our studios,” says Diarmuid Kelly, a fine artist who specializes in hyper-realistic painting, for which he has received national and international recognition.

This will be Kelly’s ninth time participating in the event, which is hardly unique. Many artists have come back to participate, but the event usually brings new artists as well.
