WEST CORK CREATES

The theme of the West Cork Creates Summer Exhibition 2023 is 'The Four Seasons'. This is a broad theme that can be freely interpreted and gives scope for artists to respond in ways that are specific to their practice. It could refer to customs, lore and legends of the Irish landscape, seasonal changes/colour, rituals of celebration honouring the seasons e.g. Winter Solstice, Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine and Lughnasa, agricultural activities such as the harvesting of crops, or inspiration from Vivaldi’s violin concerti of the same name.
