Mise Éire – variations on the theme “what is Irishness?”

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, April 29 from 6 to 8 pm

One of Ireland’s most respected ceramicists, Cormac Boydell, has created over 25 large new wall pieces and sculpture which use as their starting point explorations of Ireland’s elemental landscape, the human attributes within it, and our evolution from mythological beginnings through early Christianity to the present.

The exhibition runs April 28 to June 2, 2016.

To celebrate its new location and its thirteenth year, the inaugural show features work by some of the most prominent artists shown at the gallery during its past twelve seasons.

This large group show is a who’s who of outstanding Irish artists: Katherine Boucher Beug, Michael Canning, William Crozier, Jonathan Hunter, Bernadette Kiely, John Kingerlee, Stephen Lawlor, Janet Mullarney, Eilis O’Connell, Hughie O’Donoghue, Helen O’Leary, Frances Ryan, Donald Teskey, and Charles Tyrrell.

Opening reception:  Saturday, March 26, 6 to 8 pm
Speaker: Eoin McGonigal, SC
