THE Sligo Arts Festival, which has been running all week, is it more ambitious and at a different time than in recent years. Bank holiday weekend highlights include Mary Black at the Sligo Sports Complex tomorrow evening. There are also visual art exhibitions by Patrick O'Reilly at the Model Arts Centre and Maureen O'Connor and Vincent Sheridan at the Sligo Art Gallery, as well as many other events.
