IN COLOUR

Fingal County Council in partnership with Draíocht is pleased to present In Colour, a unique exhibition and education programme aimed at Leaving Cert Art students.

The exhibition features work by some of Ireland's most prolific artists,borrowed from the extensive AIB, Arts Council and Limerick City Gallery Collections. The education programme, aims to bring the syllabus alive by providing students and teachers the opportunity to experience focused tours of the exhibition, take part in an intensive study day, and meet three of the artists, who will discuss their work. An education resource catalogue accompanies the programme and features detailed information on selected artists featured in the exhibition. It is hoped that this resource catalogue will be both interesting and useful to all students, teachers and visitors to the show.

The In Colour exhibition continues until the 6th November 2010 at Draíocht and is open daily from 10am - 6pm.
