Crawford Art Gallery Visit

We were delighted to be able to go on art gallery trips again with 5th and 6th year art students, going on a tour of the Crawford gallery taking in 2 exhibitions. These were "Rembrandt in print" and "Remains" by Brian Maguire. These were two very different exhibitions focusing on the artist as social commenter. The Rembrandt included 50 prints from a travelling exhibition and the Brian Maguire included 7 paintings that directly confronts issues of migration, displacement and human dignity in the face of the current global unrest. We also had a little time to visit two new murals in Cork that have been part of the Ardú project, Corks contemporary street art project. We were all delighted to see some art in reality again!
