The Beginning

2009

Gallery owner Dave O’Shea curates a small , intimate exhibition for Artist Hazel Revington-Cross in the Greville Arms hotel, Mullingar, Co Westmeath.

2009

Pop up shops in local hotels were the next logical steps to get a feel for local art collectors and their tastes.

2010

Along with business partner Hazel Revington-Cross, both decided to close down Garden Centre business and turn shed into small gallery.. ‘The Garden Gallery’ was born.

2014

Both Hazel and Dave learned their trades and part company to pursue different artistic roads but still relying on each other for help. In this year The Purple Raven Gallery and Chimera Gallery both opened.

Some of our Artists

Owner & part time staff

The Chimera is a one man show so to speak but would hire local help for exhibition evenings and would be lost without them.The Gallery takes part in local school intern schemes and work experience.

 

ARTISTIC & PROGRAMMING

All programming and exhibitions are run by Dave, the Chimera very much involves the artist to input as much as possible and tailors to their different needs.

COLLABORATION

The Chimera will in 2020 start an international collaboration with Galleries in New York, Chicago and Austria… A very exciting time ahead
