The Department of Fine Art & Ceramic Design is an inspiring and dynamic place in which to study and develop artistic practice. Based in the centre of Cork, there is direct access to a very lively contemporary visual arts scene of artists, art professionals and institutions with whom we regularly engage on collaborative projects.

Illustrated Talk

POST-IT
A collaborative Print Project Exhibition between Cork Printmaker and CIT Crawford College of Art & Design, both based in CORK, IRELAND. The project involved inviting artists to use poster sites to display artwork across the City of Dundee. This project is a conduit for the dissemination of thoughts and ideas on the notion of Borders and Crossings: the artists as explorer and encompasses notions of cultural, philosophical, spiritual, whimsical and the sublime, when you see a poster site that is not telling you what to buy, where to go, who to trust, it carries the impact of the unexpected. 80 poster-sites will display work across the City of Dundee for the duration of IMPACT8. We have chosen poster-sites because they are immediate, they help to take the artwork out of its usual context and setting and seeing images produced in such a way is both exciting and fresh for both organisations. The project was supported and prefaced by vibrant and provocative series of artists’ talks hosted at CIT Crawford College of Art & Design.
