Four Wexford artists Helen Gaynor, Bernadette Doolan, Declan Cody and Olivia O’Dwyer are coming together in Studio 1 (at the top of the stairs) in the Creative Hub at the Bullring Mall in Wexford for a pre- Christmas exhibition of small works on paper.
The event will take place from Thursday, December 6 to Sunday, December 9 and the works will return to their individual studios thereafter.
The exhibition is the first of many planned collaborations between the studio artists.
It will be launched with a wine reception on Thursday, December 6 at 6 p.m.. All are welcome to attend.
Wexford Arts Centre has issued an open call for new and upcoming Wexford based music artists across all genres to apply to be part of its second PwC Spotlight programme for 2019.

Spotlight artists will also feature in a showcase concert and will receive additional mentoring support. They will also be paid a support act and performance fee.
