'Meitheal', Artlink
Members Show (3rd August - 1st Sept 2024) |
Curated by Vanessa Jordan
of the 126 Gallery Board of Directors in Galway,
‘Meitheal’ showcases the works of both new and
established artists from Ireland and beyond, bringing
together a remarkable array of artistic expressions
including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture,
performance and film.
The concept of Meitheal – a traditional Irish practice
where neighbours unite to support each other during
harvests – serves as the thematic backbone for this
year’s members show.
Vanessa said: “This year we encouraged Artlink members
to submit works that explore the notion of individuals
coming together to demonstrate the value of cultivating
a sense of community." |

Artlink project
co-ordinator Rebecca Strain further emphasised the
importance of this year’s theme: "The concept of
Meitheal is more relevant than ever in today’s world. It
reminds us that by working together, we can achieve
incredible things."
Artlink project co-ordinator Martha McCulloch added:
"The diverse range of works selected for this year’s
Members Show highlights the growing strength of the
Artlink community. Indeed, Meitheal beautifully reflects
how each artist contributes their unique voice, yet
collectively they tell a story of unity and resilience.
I’d therefore like to take this opportunity to encourage
as many people as possible to join us during August to
experience this wonderful exhibition.”
