Lewis Glucksman Gallery

Situated in its own award-winning building on the campus of University College Cork, the Lewis Glucksman Gallery is one of most modern venues of visual art in Ireland. With a mission to promote the research, creation and exploration of all the visual arts, the Glucksman Gallery aims to showcase a range of innovative and exciting exhibitions of works not yet seen in Cork, or indeed Ireland, and to initiate projects that resonate with the architecture and surroundings of the gallery space.

Located at the city end of the UCC campus by the main Western Road pedestrian gateway, the Glucksman Gallery incorporates display spaces, lecture facilities, a riverside restaurant and art shop. In addition to numerous art shows, the Gallery has an visual arts education program which includes a range of activities including workshops for both adults and children. The Glucksman is without doubt a major addition to Cork art and to the cultural life of the Munster region.

Arts Exhibitions

Lewis Glucksman Gallery's exhibition program includes showings from almost the complete spectrum of visual art. Its numerous shows have included the following. A major exhibition of Modern American Painting (1940s-1960s), setting abstract art styles such as Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art alongside figurative art or geometric abstractions, and examining contemporary art's foundations in Cubism and Constructivism. An exhibition, in conjunction with the Chester Beatty Library, of prints by Albrecht Durer. Selections from the Permanent Collection of University College Cork featuring works by Hughie O'Donoghue, Clare Langan, Basil Blackshaw, Barrie Cooke and Janet Mullarney. An exhibition and conference on visual literacy, examining the use of visual images in culture and science. A joint exhibition from the collections of the Irish Arts Council (An Chomhairle Ealaion) and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. An exhibition of works by graduates of the Crawford College of Art and Design working across a wide range of media, including paintings and sculpture by George Bolster, Gemma Browne, Maud Cotter, Claire Curneen, Simon English, Megan Eustace, Billy Foley, Marie Foley, Joy Gerrard, Vivienne Griffin, Martin Healy, Alice Maher, Aissa Lopez, Yvonne McGuinness, Ailbhe Ni Bhriain, Eilis O'Connell, Michael Quane, Linda Quinlan and Vivienne Roche.
