This tour initiative is devised to encourage contemporary artists and third level students to engage with temporary exhibitions and support their use of the Gallery as a resource and site of inspiration for research and practice. Considering the nature of the exhibition; artists, medium, subject and genre, specifically selected studios/collectives and undergrad/post-grad course groups are invited in to the Gallery to have a tour with curator Sarah McAuliffe, providing rich insight to the curatorial process and the potential for a more meaningful experience.
