Artist kicked out of workspace over City of Culture protest

Limerick City of Culture has been hit by new controversy after an artist was booted out of a studio after creating a slogan in support of the project’s former artistic designer, Karl Wallace.

Actor Kevin Kiely was vacated from his Creative Limerick workspace on Rutland St after he was told his sign — bearing the slogan “I Believe Karl Wallace” — was not in keeping with his contract.

The workspace is run by Limerick City Council, the sole shareholder of Limerick City of Culture.
