Lucien Freud - The Artist s Mother.
What a joy it is to be able to say that the doors are open again to our great array of galleries, museums and other arts spaces and installations. As we ease our way back to normality there are still restrictions in place, and most venues will require that you book online, even when the event is free of charge.
While it might be considered an inconvenience of sorts, I would suggest that this is a good move. With limits on numbers it should make for viewing of exhibitions to be carried out in a more relaxed way, not having to jostle with crowds of people. This indeed might be an opportune time to take advantage of smaller numbers and get to enjoy some of our best-known galleries.

The all-island Begin Together Arts Fund will make a total of €1 million in arts funding available over three years, awarded to projects that are adapting due to the pandemic, or are inspired by and responding to our recovery.
The Arts Fund supports or commissions artists and arts organisations to develop arts projects that engage the individuals, audiences and communities involved.
