Fantasy Farming (2020), an installation by Laura Fitzgerald, is among a new haul of artworks purchased by the Arts Council
This afternoon.
Since 1962, the Arts Council has been buying art from working artists adding to its Collection every year.
Andrew McSharry writes:
The Arts Council is delighted to announce that 90 new artworks by 48 artists have been added to its Collection to be shared with audiences across Ireland.
These new purchases represent the largest number of artworks acquired for the Collection in a single year since its establishment and bring the total number of works in the Collection to almost 1,300.
The artworks newly added to the collection are by artists who live and work in communities both across Ireland and internationally.
These new artworks will be accessible to diverse public audiences throughout the country as part of the Arts Council Collection’s ongoing programme of exhibitions, loans and initiatives.
