Fresh Talent exhibition showcasing a wealth of talent

THE design exhibition Fresh Talent is taking place at the National Craft Gallery in Kilkenny, bringing together recent graduates from third-level design colleges with designers who have been working for a few years.

For the National Craft Gallery, whose exhibition output has been prolific in recent years, this is the first time it has included an expanse of design disciplines including fashion, model making and architecture, as well as product design for the home.

What makes it special for visitors is that it reflects collaborations between designers from diverse backgrounds. For the exhibitors, it is, in some cases, the first time they’ve been involved in a show at this level, offering exposure to the public and other more experienced designers.
