Present in Time Future | Cecil King at The Hugh Lane Gallery

Cecil King (1921–1986) had a close association with the Hugh Lane Gallery. His first retrospective was held here in 1981, and he was Vice Chairman of the ROSC exhibition’s Executive Committee when the gallery hosted ROSC ’77. It is therefore with great pleasure that we present a display of King’s work to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth, and to celebrate his achievements as one of Ireland’s most significant modern artists.The Hugh Lane Gallery’s collection of Cecil King’s work ranges from 1960s to the 1980s and includes paintings, prints and tapestry.

(Lack of) Diversity Week!

(Lack of) Diversity week is an occasion to celebrate all of the brilliant Artists & Designers from across Ireland and the globe from various backgrounds who are absolutely killing it! It is also to mark and protest the severe lack of diversity on campus in NCAD, in art institutions across Ireland, in our curriculum and in the art world overall. Inaccessible arts education is fucking bullshit and is detrimental to the variety and depth of the art that is produced in our society, so let's get LOUD, PROUD & WELL ENDOWED FOR OUR DISENFRANCHISED COMRADES! ART EDUCATION FOR ALL!
