The Limerick Show
The open submission format, whereby artists are invited to propose pieces for inclusion, is perennial. Historically, such exhibitions were central to the evolution of art, particularly in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century.
Similar to those predecessors, this show offers a platform for artists to enter into discourse with their peers, to present the public with a measure of what is being produced at a particular moment, and to create a forum for critical conversation in response to visual art. Ultimately, all this foregrounds the potential of exhibitions as fundamentally social occasions which unify a cohort of artists and, in so doing, generate the possibility of new alliances and collaborations.
This is the second exhibition of this type at Ormston House, the first having taken place in 2022. As with that show, this is a celebration of the breadth of art being produced in Limerick (city and county) today, showcasing thirty-nine artists and spanning painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, and video. This edition has no theme, but there are recurring motifs and subjects.
