Fort Dunree hosts 29 Inishowen
artists
09.07.15
MEMBERS of an Inishowen
art collective based in the wonderful setting of
Fort Dunree are to launch a new exhibition of their
works next week.
Artlink says the creation of their membership system
has offered invaluable support to locally-based
visual artists who might otherwise find themselves
working alone.
"The work of an artist can often be a solitary
activity. Working as part of an artist collective
generates opportunities spreads knowledge, ideas and
can also have a subconscious influnce on an artists
practice," said spokesperson Rebecca Strain.
"By fostering an atmosphere of creativity, allows
the artist freedom of expression and encourages the
production of new art work. This atmosphere in turn
infiltrates the wider community."
The theme of their collection is carried through in
their new exhibition 'Artlink Members Annual
Exhibition; Mark 1'. |
