Exhibitions > '08

Copies of these manuscripts were forwarded to over 80 of our gallery artists and studio members to create a print in response to their allocated piece of poetry or prose. This innovative collection of fine art prints is on show at the gallery alongside a limited edition of photo etchings of the written works published at Graphic Studio Dublin.

The paper size of all the images is 20 cm x 25 cm and they are limited to an edition of 20. Priced at €180 unframed and wrapped in a bespoke folder makes a unique and thoughtful Christmas gift. The limited edition of the manuscripts signed by the authors, of which only 10 are for sale will also be available at €70.00 per copy.

On Saturday 13th December from 2 - 6 pm we are hosting a fundraising event in aid of Fr. Peter McVerry Trust where a donation from sales of these works will be given to this deserving charity.

Participating Artists include: Charles Cullen, Stephen Lawlor, Carmel Benson, Robert Russell, Constance Short, Yoko Akino and James McCreary.
