More details available - MTU Arts + Culture - RÉ - Exhibition by MTU Crawford College of Art & Design 2024/25

Ré is an exhibition of work by the graduate residents of MTU Crawford College of Art and Design (CCAD). Graduating from CCAD in 2024 with degrees in Fine Art and Contemporary Applied Art, these talented artists spent the year in residency positions throughout the college. The residencies included drawing, sculpture, photography and ceramics.

The first year after graduating is, to say the least, an interesting one. It can be disorienting. To be awarded a residency can give the graduate time to mature in their practice with the support of the college. In return, the graduate gives their time and skill to the college. This time also solidifies the fact that they are no longer only graduates of CCAD. They are artists. And this is a group of artists with very bright futures. The title of the exhibition Ré is the Irish word for era. It could also be said to be deireadh RÉ (end of an era) but it’s more tús ré (start of an era). This is these artists era, their time.

Ré is curated by MTU Gallery at 46 Grand Parade Graduate Resident Joanne O’Mahony.
