The work of more than 80 students of Art, Design and Film & Documentary will exhibit their work in Galway City this month.
An exciting exhibition of work by final year students of art, design, film & documentary programmes at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) will be formally opened this Saturday.
The exhibition will be opened by the Director of the Arts Council of Ireland, Maureen Kennelly in the ATU School of Design & Creative Arts, Galway city (Wellpark Road).
It will open to the public on Friday, May 24 and run until Thursday, May 30.
The annual Graduate Art Show is a popular event in Galway’s arts calendar, attracting visitors, art lovers as well as friends, families and neighbours of the students who join them in celebrating the culmination of their four years of study.
The campus, a former Redemptorist building, will showcase the work of some 70 students in painting, print, photography, short films and documentaries, games and animation, graphic design and illustrations, product design, and textile and fashion.
Celine Curtin of the Department of Creative Art and Media, ATU Galway City said, “We congratulate the graduates for their exemplary work showcased in this exhibition.”
“Their dedication and scholarly rigor have culminated in a remarkable display of creative talent and academic achievement”.
Louise Manifold, lecturer, said, “The 2024 Graduate Exhibition promises a range of surprises from the playful to the surreal.”
“This year’s graduates, who began their learning journey at the height of the pandemic, visually explore human relationships both with ourselves, our communities, and the environments we inhabit.”
“Across the programmes of Art, Design, Film and Documentary, our graduates tell stories reflect the transformative journey from then to now.”
