WORK by more than 50 Cork printmakers has gone on show in the city.

The Cork Printmakers Exhibition, a bi-annual event, runs at the Lavit Gallery until June 10, and celebrates the diverse practices and approaches to fine art printmaking by artists at Cork Printmakers.

The exhibition was opened recently by Senior Curator at the Glucksman Gallery Tadhg Crowley.

With over 100 members, Cork Printmakers artists work across traditional and contemporary fine art printmaking techniques including lithography, etching, screenprint, relief print, as well as expanded print practice, which incorporates video, sculpture and installation.

Established in 1991, Cork Printmakers is a professional print studio, gallery and resource organisation providing artists with facilities and equipment to create artwork through the medium of print.

Located at Wandesford Quay in the heart of Cork city, the gallery supports and promotes the creation and development of new work through their studios, exhibitions, events and education programme, promoting the highest standards of practice in printmaking.

Lavit Gallery is a not-for-profit arts organisation and registered charity dedicated to promoting an appreciation of art in Cork city through the provision of a gallery space in which artists can exhibit their artwork for public patronage.
