Printmaker of the Month
Limerick Printmakers have collaborated with The Hunt Museum on its Printmaker of the Month series since 2014. This hugely popular series began as part of LP programme of events during Limerick’s National City of Culture designation. Since then over forty members have had an opportunity to exhibit up to five pieces of their work in the welcoming surroundings of The Hunt Café, located on the lower level of the museum.
LP and The Hunt Museum have shared a hugely positive relationship since the studio was founded and have collaborated in a variety of ways; through large-scale group exhibitions of LP members work, community engagement projects, and educational workshops that respond to the museum’s varied exhibition programming through printmaking.
The concept of ‘Printmaker of the Month’ is simple: each month one studio member of Limerick Printmakers exhibits a single print in The Hunt Museum. To date, over 60 artists have exhibited as part of this programme, showcasing their individual artistic practice and highlighting talent contained within LP to the local, national and international visitors of this respected and vibrant institution.
