15 February – 7 April 2024
Limerick City Gallery of Art, Limerick
We are delighted to collaborate with Limerick City Gallery of Art (LCGA) on 100 YEARS OF GIVING, an exhibition celebrating the centenary of the Friends of the National Collections of Ireland (FNCI).
Formed in 1924 by the artist Sarah Purser and a group of friends, FNCI is a charitable body whose continued purpose is to acquire works of art and objects of historical interest, and to donate them to national and regional art galleries and museums throughout Ireland for the education and enjoyment of the public. As part of its remit, FNCI also advises on and administers gifts and bequests.
Alongside works from LCGA’s own collection, 100 YEARS OF GIVING features 28 works on loan from Crawford Art Gallery. All of these were either presented by, or co-purchased with the FNCI between 1955 and 2012, and include masterpieces by James Barry, Daniel Maclise, and Mainie Jellett.
Crawford Art Gallery wishes to thank Úna McCarthy, Siobhan O’Reilly, and the LCGA team.
100 YEARS OF GIVING runs 15 February – 7 April 2024 at Limerick City Gallery of Art.
