Throughout 2017 The Creative Well will present artist talks free of charge and open to the public in McKenna Gallery at Riverbank Arts Centre.

Our artist talks will be tailored to people who are new to contemporary art as well as those who have experience with contemporary art. So treat yourself! It is always enjoyable and rewarding to listen to an artist talk about their artwork, the art process they engage with and their thinking about art. These talks are planned to last for an hour with time for discussion at the end.

Emer O’Boyle is co-founder and Director of UCD Parity Studios, Artists in Residence programme.

She is an artist/educator whose work explores individual stories within collective contexts and creates conditions for exchange between different interest groups. Her projects have been funded by the EU Partnership for Peace Programme, Amnesty International, an EUFP7 project called GLORIA – Global Robotic Telescope Intelligent Array and The Arts Council of Ireland. Since 2010 she has been collaborating with Professor of Astronomy Lorraine Hanlon and her team at UCD.

These talks are free but booking is essential.
