The launch of the Gorey Art Collection Exhibition 2025 took place in Gorey Library this evening and runs until August 1st.
The honour of performing the official launch went to Sarah Redmond who told the invited guests she was involved in the Collective at its inception and added; “It’s wonderful to now see it rise above initial obstacles and evolve into an inspiring, creative space.”
“I know that a big part of seeing the Gorey Art Collective grow and thrive is down to the help of the Arts Council and the Wexford Arts department project funding and inaugural artists workspace scheme and Gorey Art Collective is very grateful for this,” continued Ms. Redmond.
The exhibition features the work of five artists; Sheila MacNally, Bradan Ó Coscair, Caoirse Mitchell, Grainne Dempsey and Elaine Tobin.
Ms. Redmond said; “The current members of Gorey Art Collective each bring something uniquely their own, both in what they create and how they create it. They are showing us what can happen when many voices share one space.”
In summing up, Ms. Redmond stated; “Please take your time to appreciate and engage with all the works on display here (in Gorey Library) and do spread the word to come and see the exhibition.”
Mary Kearney, Executive Librarian, acted as master of ceremonies with a warm welcome for everybody and congratulations to the artists whose work is on display in Gorey Library.
