Ireland’s national festival celebrating arts and ageing.

These works speak to making, meaning, and creativity across a lifetime; art is not defined by age or ability, but by expression, commitment, and the freedom to be seen.

We are so excited to see this crane (and what a crane!) going up at the gallery as @pjhegartysons charge full steam ahead on the historic redevelopment of our beautiful building.

A enormous crane that towers several stories over the existing, four-storey red-brick building of Crawford Art Gallery. The two crane towers that built the crane, parked in front of Crawford Art Gallery and ready to construct. A side view of the enormous crane, showing that it extends further than the length and width of Crawford Art Gallery, which is partially covered in hoarding and scaffolding. The front facade of Crawford Art Gallery, showing the base of the enormous crane, which is also extending off into the sky in the distance above the conical tower of Crawford Art Gallery.

An oil on canvas painting of a choppy, blue-green sea under a blue but semi-cloudy sky; a large, three-mast ship with a Union Jack sails on the waves, with its port side visible to the audience; a similar ship sails in the background to the left, and a small sailboat heads towards shore on the right. In the far background you can see the city of Cork and there are land masses on either side closer to the front of the painting.
