WaterLand exhibition opening night photographs

Minister Jimmy Deenihan presided over the official opening of WaterLand.

Waterways Ireland hosted a fantastic evening with delicious food served by nearby Il Valentino.

The beautiful venue was packed with artists, designers, and collectors alike.

A great night was had by all.
