A specially planned Gaelic Arts Festival in Newfoundland marks the beginning of the North American tour of An Leabhar Mòr: the Great Book of Gaelic exhibition.

This touring exhibition of contemporary art brings together the work of more than 200 poets, visual artists and calligraphers from Ireland and Scotland and is scheduled for exhibition at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Art Gallery from June to September 2008.

“We seek to explore the shared traditions between Newfoundland and Labrador and the Gaelic cultures of Ireland and Scotland, and invite the public to share with us in this momentous and historic occasion,” said Dr. Holly Pike, acting principal of Grenfell College. “We are especially pleased that Grenfell College is the first stop on the North American tour of An Leabhar Mòr.”
