Esker Arts opened BogSkin on Saturday 10th May 2025.

The exhibition was officially opened by Patrick T. Murphy, Curator and Director of the RHA.

BogSkin was an exploration of the bog through painting, video, and sculpture. The bog has always occupied a central role in Irish life, in our folklore, history and home life. This major exhibition examined the relationship of art to the boglands over the past 50 years.

The exhibition ran until Saturday 28th June.
