News & Events

8-26 November

Cork Zine Fest (CZF) is Ireland’s first and longest-running zine festival, celebrating independent publishing and creativity since 2018. This year, Crawford Art Gallery collaborates with CZF to bring hands-on workshops and events for all ages, taking inspiration from our Collection. 

Highlights include Beasts & Feasts, a playful zine-making session for children at Cork City Library, and Treasures at the Crawford, creative workshops at Triskel Arts Centre exploring much-loved works from the Gallery’s collection through collage, writing, and drawing.

Cork Zine Fest will also support a series of collaborative initiatives with Crawford Art Gallery’s Learn & Explore ongoing programmes:

• Follow Your Nose - a collaborative art programme for children by Cork Migrant Centre and Crawford Art Gallery.
• Crawford Supported Studios - a sustained creative environment that centres disabled people. Crawford Supported Studios is an initiative anchored by a long-term partnership between MTU Crawford College of Art & Design and Crawford Art Gallery.
• Lonradh - an arts programme for older adults experiencing memory loss, their families and carers. 
• TENI – Transgender Equality Network Ireland
• Friends of the Crawford Art Gallery – A support group for Crawford Art Gallery with the aim to promote awareness of the gallery, its collections and exhibitions, and to foster an interest in all aspects of art, culture and heritage.
