Let there be light

Tina O’Sullivan previews a series of exhibitions in the Crawford and other venues to mark 60 years of the Arts Council

THIS year the Arts Council of Ireland celebrates 60 years of supporting the arts. Into the Light is the title of four major exhibitions running in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Sligo to mark the occasion.

The exhibitions feature work drawn from the Arts Council’s collection and new work commissioned for each show. Curator Karen Downey oversaw the exhibitions and penned an essay in the accompanying hardback publication.
