Cork-based artists to exhibit work at Co Down gallery

A new collection of works from Cork-based artists has travelled north, to the FE McWilliam Gallery & Studio at Banbridge in Co Down.

The exhibition, entitled ‘Constellation: Selected Works from Crawford Art Gallery’, features pieces from artists Amanda Coogan, Micheal Hanna, Ronnie Hughes, Nick Miller and Jennifer Trouton.

Pieces in the collection explore the themes of nature, domestic life and identity, with art forms including film, photography, drawing, painting, and sculpture.

Crawford Art Gallery director Mary McCarthy said the aim of the exhibition is to “support strong touring and institutional exchange across the island of Ireland”.

Dr Riann Coulter, curator of the FE McWilliam Gallery, said the collection “showcases some of the stars of the Irish art world and reflects the quality and diversity of Crawford’s Collection”.

The exhibition will be open at the FE McWilliam until May 2.
