BRU NA BOINE, NEWGRANGE EXHIBITION
Three pieces each. All works to be brought to the venue between 10am and 11am on Friday 25th March. Will need a hanging crew. Frances agreed to manage the exhibition and make sure it goes smoothly and that all work is taken down at the specified time. Take down on Friday April 15th by 3pm. Work to be related to Newgrange. Name of artist, title, price, medium and phone number to go on labels.
GRANT APPLICATION
Closing date for grant applications is March 25th. She is happy to write the application and apply for €200 as in previous years but needs ideas as to what to apply for. Ideas were… 1. Michael Wann workshop 2. Pastel workshop 3. Price of the bus to go on a trip 4. Art supplies for doing a collective piece. 5. Trip to gallery and get a guided tour.
Sharon suggested that we apply for the full Solstice exhibition to cover expense of workshops, professional development, opening night, curator, publicity etc as we haven’t applied for this for about 4 years. There was agreement on this.
Sharon also reminded everyone that they can apply as an individual for a grant. Frances asked for a workshop to be held at some stage on applying for funding.
SOLSTICE EXHIBITION/WORKSHOPS
The theme for this exhibition in August is REFLECTIONS. Peter hopes to organise two workshops each month.
All members must attend a minimum of two workshops and one ‘show and tell’ to be allowed to put works in to this exhibition. Peter to send an email out to all members explaining this. A discussion on workshops followed.
Thursday February 4th 7.30pm in Solstice Workshop to get ideas rolling on the theme. Sharon and Theresa to lead.
Wednesday February 24th 7.30pm in Solstice Workshop on portraiture given by Peter. As a celebration of the ten year anniversary of the Meath Arts Group we discussed at the last meeting the idea of doing self-portraits of ourselves and having them in the café gallery as part of the August exhibition. This would sit well with the theme of reflections as they are images of ourselves in the mirror. Could have information on meath arts group beside them and other work upstairs. Hopefully they would all look very different and be quite experimental. Could be on the same size board/canvas to unify collection.
Thursday March 3rd or Thursday March 10th – Theresa may do a workshop on acrylic inks on one of these nights. She will know once she gets her work schedule.
Peter to ask Suella if she can do a Saturday in March for a workshop on photographing work.
Mette will do a workshop on felting and one on writing an artistic statement later in the year.
Dorothy and Annabel will do a workshop on egg tempera painting. Probably on a Saturday morning in April.

DUALITY OF FORM
Eleanor Duffin/Caoimhe Kilfeather/ Barbara Knezevic
Curated by Mary Cremin
Duality of form is a philosophical inquiry into the nature of objects and how their meaning comes into being. The artists explore the subtle relationships between the material and the immaterial through sculpture, photography, drawing and text.

Submission call reminder
for Artists working in Supported Studio Settings
Submissions are coming in and we have extended the closing date to 19th February 2016.
What is Perceptions 2016: The Art of Citizenship?
Cork City Council Arts office, Crawford Art Gallery and CIT Crawford College of Art and Design are building on the success of their 2013 Art of Inclusion exhibition that brought together the work of 50 artists from around the world to exhibit in Cork city. All the artists worked in supported studios – spaces offering opportunities to artists who may previously have been unable to develop their arts practice whether from a physical lack of access to materials, lack of opportunity or because of limited expectations of them.
Perceptions 2016: The Art of Citizenship aims to broaden the range of voices, visions, perceptions and approaches to creativity that the public engages with in cultural venues. It aims to engage the public with valuable knowledge and perspectives that are frequently absent from the world of art. The project is based on the premise that, when we create spaces and opportunities to listen to a broad range of diverse intelligences, perspectives and voices, our knowledge, experience and understanding of the world is enriched.
How can you be a part of Perceptions 2016: The Art of Citizenship?
We are now calling for submissions of work, from artists who are working in supported studio settings both in Ireland and internationally. We also invite expressions of interest from venues across Cork City who may like to showcase work. Artists and organisations presenting work will be involved in public engagement events, tours and workshops with the opportunity for schools, community groups, and members of the public to get involved.
For further details on submitting work and details on the exhibition please go to www.perceptions2016.com
