A new exhibition in Donegal is retracing the 1920s journey of American artist Rockwell Kent through Glenlough, a remote coastal area. Developed over three years, the exhibition titled *Land’s End* grew from the repeated visits of artist Lowery to Glenlough. The exhibition highlights Kent’s artistic exploration of the region, which remains largely untouched by modern development.
The exhibition is set in a historic building in Glenlough, offering visitors a glimpse into Kent’s creative process and the landscape that inspired him. It includes original sketches, photographs, and artifacts from Kent’s time in Ireland. The project aims to preserve and share the cultural and artistic legacy of Kent’s visit, which took place a century ago.
Rockwell Kent was an American modernist painter and writer who spent time in Ireland in the 1920s. His time in Glenlough, part of the Donegal Gaeltacht, was significant for his artistic development. The exhibition brings together local and international experts to provide context for Kent’s work and its relevance today. The event coincides with growing interest in preserving Ireland’s cultural heritage and promoting regional tourism.
