MAKING ART: Photography is the fourth in a series of exhibitions (2018-2023) which explores a specific visual art discipline, its materials, processes and varied manifestations. The focus this year is on contemporary photographic practice with two exhibitions:

Creative Gesture (Ground Floor Gallery) features artists Gary Coyle, Joe Lee, Jan McCullough and Jill Quigley, whose art originates in distinctive conceptual, performative and “expanded photography” approaches with a shared preoccupation in the habits, happenings and repetitions of the everyday.

Selected works from the National Photography Collection
, Photo Museum Ireland (First Floor Gallery). The National Photography Collection was established in 2021 by Photo Museum Ireland. It aims to reflect the development of the medium of modern and contemporary photography in the Irish context. It charts the work of leading Irish artists, critically framing their practice to build awareness of the politics of place and the role of photography in shaping cultural identity. Find out more about how the Collection was initiated to support contemporary photographic artists to digitise their individual archives, securing their legacy for the future.

MAKING ART: Photography will be accompanied by a programme of engagement for young people.
