Katie working in the Open Studio at Expanding Realities.

The Open Studio was planned as a space where the artists could interact, and see each other’s work process. Today there was great energy in the Open Studio, people becoming curious about each others work, finding common interests and sparking ideas off each other.

Expanding Realities comes to Cork.

Katie looks forward to the arrival of her friends and fellow artists from Madrid and Bristol for the Cork leg of Expanding Realities.

 

Work created in the Expanded Realities Open Studio in Bristol.GASP, Cork, Art in Motion (AIM) Bristol Debajo del Sombrero Madrid  are three dynamic projects engaging the creativity, and supporting the professional development of artists who have much to contribute to society as artists and citizens. They seek to break barriers in society and in the world of art that may exclude or limit the participation of artists who may need additional supports. Expanded Realities is when they come together to create art. The Cork leg of Expanded Realities runs from the 13th - 17th of June.
