OUR Shannon Rowing Club est. 1870 was site for a portrait sitting by reigning Rose of Tralee, Maria Walsh. Eight artists painted her likeness simultaneously over a four hour period, while the festival queen sat in sash at the bow window overlooking Currahgower Falls. According to Pat O’Neill of the Festival, there are plans to make this sitting an annual.
50 guests attended the paintings’ unveiling and now RedEyeMedia produces a documentary of the event for Youtube.
