"Ireland: Alphabet Series - A Touring Exhibition from Cork Printmakers" Exhibition
Irish Arts Center
This event has ended.
This exhibition consists of 26 prints by 26 artists, each work taking a letter of the alphabet as a starting point. Cork Printmakers, a fine art print studio and arts service organization, invited participating artists to investigate what a specifically “Irish” alphabet would look like. Artists were encouraged to be humorous, confessional, personal, subtle, ironic, iconic, or controversial; and to take on cultural and economic challenges that are relevant to contemporary Ireland. The result is a rich, varied exhibition executed in a range of styles and printmaking techniques.
Founded in 1991, Cork Printmakers is a specialist support organization dedicated to fostering excellence and innovation in contemporary print and enabling the development of professional artists. The workshop supports a high standard of printmaking through state-of-the-art facilities, promotes public appreciation of the art form through innovative education programs for all ages, and supports over 90 artist members based in Ireland, Britain, and the United States.
