Final stop for NWCI’s Legacy project “Still, We Work” - Limerick
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
The final leg of the ‘STILL, WE WORK’, tour hits Limerick this October.
An exhibition featuring work by artists Sarah Browne, Miriam O’Connor, Anne Tallentire and Vagabond Reviews exploring contemporary representations of women and work, STILL, WE WORK, features specially commissioned artworks and is the result of a initiative taken by the NWCI to develop a Legacy Project to mark the council's 40th anniversary year.
The exhibition, curated by Michele Horrigan, will be formally opened at Dance Limerick, John’s Square, Limerick, Monday 12th October, at 4pm.
Limerick is the last part of the tour and the artists’ works are being exhibited across three venues: Limerick City Gallery of Art, Dance Limerick Space, and Hunt Museum. The exhibition and additional programme are curated by Michele Horrigan, assisted by Noelle Collins.
An Arts Council Visual Art Touring Award has supported five different exhibition curators to present the exhibition in Letterkenny, Callan/Kilkenny and Limerick, with touring partners and supporters.
