The exhibition touring programme is sponsored by the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands. Due to the demand for drawing classes for young people, the Gallery has organised two Portfolio Days , which will take place on Saturday 3 and 10 March to be given by the artist R is n Lewis. The St. Patrick's Festival will be marked during the week 17-25 March with a series of talks, tours and family programmes. See Spring Programme for details. Activities over the two weeks, 1-13 May , will include daily tours, talks in front of paintings, evening lectures and the family programme.
Admission is free to all events.
There will also be an art class with Don Conroy. The 'Class Choice' project is open to school groups visiting the Gallery. Children are encouraged to interpret their favourite work in the collection either as a descriptive text, a short poem or a colour picture. Each month one of the entries is displayed in the Gallery's entrance hall. Entries for 'Class Choice' should be accompanied by the 'Class Choice' form and sent to the Education Department.
