Artist Lunch at 1pm on Saturday 21 September at the Tea House! A casual gathering for local artists to catch up in the newly opened building on the River Nore. It’s potluck style, so bring a dish or something to share.
Location: The Tea House , Bateman Quay, Kilkenny [near the Market Yard bus stop]
Elinor O’Donovan, secretary of Praxis: The Artists’ Union of Ireland, will be joining us to talk about the importance of being a member. The union is committed to giving artists strategic power in their places of work and to improving their living and working conditions.
We are committed to creating a safe space for everyone involved to take part equally. The space is fully wheelchair accessible. If anyone has any further access needs or allergies for this event please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Rachel Botha at bothar.work@gmail.com.
Please book via Eventbrite.
This is a part of the public programme of Toil and Moil, a solo exhibition by artist Emma Swan, and includes a presentation of the Celebrate People’s History poster series by Josh MacPhee.
The Tea Houses are situated by the River Nore in Kilkenny city centre and have recently been acquired by the Kilkenny Arts Office to be activated as visible spaces to host a public art programme. Over the next few months these spaces will be used as a gallery, a curatorial office, a studio, a residency, a production space, a workshop space, a meeting place, a library and more. Art Gatherings is a visual arts project with a multidisciplinary approach that encourages a sense of community and active citizenship. This project is initiated by the Kilkenny Arts Office.
