HIVERNAL OPEN CALL 2024

CURATED BY EAMONN MAXWELL

Roscommon Arts Centre invites applications for the 2024 Hivernal Open Call curated by Eamonn Maxwell. Artists are invited to respond to the theme of the changing seasons – in particular the transition from Autumn (Lúnasa) into Winter (Samhain), the celebration of Halloween and the fading light at this time of year. Only works of artists that reference the theme will be considered for selection. This is an open call group exhibition for artists living in Roscommon and its bordering counties – Galway, Leitrim, Longford, Mayo, Offaly, Sligo and Westmeath. The exhibition will feature work by a number of selected artists and those selected will each receive an exhibition fee of €300.

He has curated numerous exhibitions across the world including the Irish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2011. From 2009 – 2016 he was Director of Lismore Castle Arts, where he programmed significant exhibitions by leading international and Irish artists. He has been a passionate advocate for emerging artists, establishing the Emerging Artists Programme during his tenure as University Curator, University of the Arts London.
