THE Project Motive, a visual artist grouping, has got behind Contact Studios in its 20th year to stage the glory of local artists in a bold new venue, Mother Mac’s Bar on High Street.
Ongoing, we have a daily chance to view mixed media works by Kathleen Bartlett – Julie Brazil – Ann Daly – Carl Doran – Emma Fisher – Maurice Foley Anne-Marie Morrin – Ciaran Nash – Kevin O’ Keeffe – Gerry O’ Mahony – Nuala O’ Sullivan – Sheila Richardson – Sheila Stone – Isabella Walsh.
More than a 100 artists have worked in and with Contact Studios. Founded by members of the Real Art Project (RAP) and the Mid-West Health Board, it is the longest established independent visual art studio we have.

From Project Motive’s Kevin O’Keeffe: “The exhibitions in Peggy’s Parlour of Mother Mac’s are the first step in our aim to facilitate art projects in alternative spaces around the city, to introduce new audiences to different ways of engaging with local artists and to show pride in the talent of this city.”
Until July 4.
