Transition
An exhibition curated from the Arts Council Collection by 5th year Loreto students.

South Tipperary Arts Centre, in conjunction with the Tipperary Arts Office and The Arts Council, devised a project, in which the 5th Year students of the Loreto Convent Secondary School would work with Arts Council’s historic art collection with the aim of curating a show of artworks and to engage with the process of curating. The resulting exhibition features works which the students themselves chose and features an audio segment in which the pupils discuss their decisions and methods of curation. Featured within ‘Transition’, are the works of John Behan, Carmel Benson, Pauline Bewick, Melanie leBrocquy, Jennifer Brady, Michelle Brown, Amanda Coogan, Dorothy Cross, Mary Ann Duffy, Anita Groener, Dragana Jurisic, and Helena Kelly.

Transition runs from 11th April - 18th May 2019

The very first episode of the South Tipp Arts Podcast, featuring Arts Centre Manager Cliona Maher, also Catherine Marshall, curator and art historian talks about the current exhibition "A Population of Wonderments" by sculptor Janet Mullarney. The exhibition runs until April 6th.
