Kilkenny Sustainable Art Exhibition

The Kilkenny Sustainable Art Exhibition, returns to An Chéad Tine, May 10-25th, as part of Bealtanie Living Earth Festival and in partnership with CALMAST at SETU. It also runs during the period of @national.biodiversity.week Curated by @marydoyleburke and hosted by An Chead Tine Art Gallery, this exhibition invited submissions from artists from all disciplines exploring sustainability
in material, message or method or creation of artworks using or incorporating natural materials from the Living Earth.

Curator Mary Doyle Burke states “that the large and high quality of entries is testament to great work that Irish creatives and environmentalists are making in the area of Sustainablity. Here in this selection of artworks you will see weaving with natural fibres, crafting films that reflect our changing ecosystems, printing and paiting with plant-based inks, biodiversity themed paintings, sculptures
from natural materials and installation works amongst Artist Books and Poetry. As a curator and an artist, Iam interested in adopting circular practices which focuses on reducing waste, promoting recycling and using sustainable materials. It is with great joy that Ibring this exhibition to the public now in its 2nd year.”

It will be opened at 5pm Sat 10th followed by a poetry reading at 6pm. Refreshments served. All invited.

This exhibition is part of and funded by Bealtanie Living Earth Festival 25 which is run by CALMAST STEM Engagement Centre at SETU. Many thanks to Nollaig Healy Project Manager for the invite to curate this exhibition and for her continued support.
