Works from Kildare’s Municipal Art Collection go on display at Riverbank

Selected Works from Kildare’s Municipal Art Collection go on display at the Riverbank Arts Centre from Friday until May 27.

The exhibition will be launched by By Cathaoirleach of Kildare County Council, Cllr. Fintan Brett tomorrow. 

Come along and explore artwork from Kildare County Council’s Municipal Art Collection (MAC) established in the 1970’s.

The collection normally displayed in public buildings across the county, has been revisited, and a selection of work has been especially curated for this exhibition by Paula Barrett, Assistant Arts Officer.

A municipal collection is a body that is in the process of becoming and so, is not easily defined.

The works chosen from the collection echo this feeling of flux, of taking form, the momentary becoming monumental through time and context and medium.

Included among the selection are artworks by Niamh O’Malley, Isabel Nolan, Gillian Lawler, Shane Hynan, Emma Stroude, John Minihan, Seán Cotter, Rebecca Peart, John Behan, James Nolan, Derek A. Fitzsimons and Dominic Turner.
