EXHIBITING ARTISTS:We are delighted to announce the group of talented female artists exhibiting in the Ladyfest Cork 2008 Visual Arts Exhibition:
UNITARIAN CHURCHAlso showing work in the Unitarian Church are: Annette Persson and Angela Fulcher, Kirsten Murray, Cork Artists Workgroup Mallow and Yvonne Cronin. VISUAL ARTS SPACEESB Building Caroline Street – opposite Cyprus Avenue As Ladyfest began to take shape we realised that we also wanted to celebrate female artists by curating a diverse exhibition in one art space. We found the perfect space, the Old ESB building opposite our gig venue Cyprus Avenue, and we set up an open submission process. And then it really began to take on a life of it’s own! We were very excited about the prospect of an all female exhibition with no restrictions on medium or subject matter and we soon realised that lots of women out there are interested as well, we received over 300 submissions. Such a huge number of submissions made our final choice of artists for the exhibition a very difficult one. There was obviously a huge need for an art space that allowed amateur artists to exhibit. We will also be exhibiting art from professional artists and after long deliberations we think that our art exhibition will be a unique and interesting one. The building itself is big and bright and upstairs we will have lots of interactive and collaborative art projects for you to get your hands messy and get arty. This will not be a hush hush church-like exhibition space, we want you to get to know your fellow Ladyfesters by taking part in workshops that will be taking place in the art space and by adding your own personal touch to a paint-by-numbers painting and miniature sculptures to name but a few! On both floors we will be exhibiting a wide array of photography, print, painting and graphic design as well as video and sound installations. We want you to hear, see, touch and feel the art and make a bit of noise if you want to. The official opening of the exhibition is Wednesday evening the 23rd of April at 6.00pm. Come along and feed your arty side, a paint brush in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, and see some amazing art!
Ladyfest Cork will take place on April 25th, 26th, 27th 2008
