Art exhibitions and events to visit this summer
Clockwise from left, Victoria Russell's portrait of Fiona Shaw is now on view at Uilinn in Skibbereen; Evie Hone's 'Composition'; 'Dun Aonghasa Cliffs and Shoreline' by Paul Kelly at Mallow Arts Festival; 'Richard Harris: Role of a Lifetime' at the Hunt Museum in Limerick.
Summer art exhibitions abound in Ireland and offer a stimulating alternative activity in the holiday season.
If you have not yet seen it, there is still time to catch The Art of Friendship, dedicated to pioneering Irish Modernists Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone, at the National Gallery until August 10. With paintings, stained glass and preparatory drawings, it offers 90 works by these trailblazers who studied in Paris in the 1920s.
