Echos: An exhibition celebrating 25 years of the Leinster Printmaking Studio

Echos: Leinster Printmaking Studio

An exhibition celebrating 25 years of the Leinster Printmaking Studio

8th July – 26th August

Official Opening: Saturday 8th July, 4pm

In 1998, a group of artists, led by Margaret Becker, founded the Leinster Printmaking Studio in a small premises in Clane, Co Kildare. This year the studio celebrates its silver jubilee with an all-embracing exhibition echoing the many events and collaborations over the past 25 years.

Studio members as well as invited guest artists have organised and participated in a wide variety of exhibitions, often in collaboration with other print studios nationally and internationally.

The LPS decided to remember and reflect on these past events by inviting members and guests to revisit previous exhibitions and to echo a theme or a favourite print as a point of departure for a new artwork.

The studio is presently funded by Kildare County Council, its members and associate members and friends.
