This exhibition from the IMMA Collection explores the many ways in which visual artists respond to issues and events that have either personal or public significance.

Public and Private Narratives: Selected Works from the IMMA Collection comprises paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations which illustrate the ways in which artists give visual expression to both public events and private experiences. The exhibition also deals with the means by which important public events are celebrated visually.  Featured in the exhibition are works by Irish artists such as Dorothy Cross and Brian Maguire and the Portuguese-born painter Paula Rego.

Opening at the Sligo Art Gallery on Thursday 13 January 2005.
