OCEAN LONGING
10 OCTOBER - 16 NOVEMBER 2025
The sea holds a special place in many hearts, and has been a much-loved subject for artists, especially in Ireland. Our exhibition features 17 artists and brings to light the many ways we can draw inspiration from the ocean.
Our featured artists share a personal connection to the sea through painting, drawing, textile art, and ceramic sculpture. The power of the waves, maritime mythology, biodiversity, and our human relationship with the ocean are among the many themes that our new exhibit touches upon.
Exhibiting artists include: Amber Broughton, Ber Earley, Claire Lee, Darren Cassidy, Edwina Knight, Eileen Jeffries, Emily Thompson, Emma O’Connor-Bray, Kassandra Davis, Linda Proudfoot, Marie McInerney, Natalie Dwyer, Niamh Horgan, Rick McGroarty, Sinead Barrett, Tetiana Milshyna, and Toshie Oue.
