New exhibition from Kildare Art Collective

A section from one of the exhibits.

Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge will host a new exhibition by Kildare Art Collective, titled Departures, in the McKenna Gallery from Saturday 30 May to Saturday 27 June. Exploring themes of transition and change, Departures focuses on moments at the edge of new phases in life, reflecting on roles, objects and identities that have been outgrown. 

Artists exhibiting include Olga Anacka, Mark Butler, Anna de Cleir, Marta Golubowska, Declan Greaney, Kirsten Hodgson, Niamh Hynan, Conor Lane, Michelle McBride, Martina McDonald, Caoimhe McGuckin, Claire Murphy, Dan Shanahan, Fergus Smith and Johnny Tierney.

The official opening will take place on Saturday, 30 May at 5pm, offering visitors a chance to meet the artists and learn more about their work. An inclusive Audio Tour, led by artist Michelle McBride and aimed particularly at visually impaired visitors and those who benefit from literacy-supported access, will run on Saturday 27 June at 12:30pm. The tour is free, but advance booking is advised.

Departures is open Monday-Friday from 9:30am-5pm, Saturdays 10am-1pm, and one hour before evening events. Admission is free. Further information and the exhibition catalogue are available at riverbank.ie.
