Join Backwater Artists Group, Cork Printmakers and Lavit Gallery for two special tours of the historic Wandesford Quay building on Heritage Day.

 

Each tour will take you on a journey through the building’s history as part of Cork’s wider heritage story, exploring how its spaces have been adapted over time and are now home to three of Cork’s leading arts organisations.

 

Representatives from Backwater Artists Group, Cork Printmakers and Lavit Gallery will guide you through the building, sharing the stories of its past and the work of the organisations based there today. The tour will include a visit to the historic vaults at Lavit Gallery, an introduction to Cork Printmakers and its printmaking community, and a look at Backwater’s artist-led studios and creative spaces.

 

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the stories of this unique building and the organisations that now call it home.
