EXPRESSIONS of interest from artists who would like to exhibit in temporary pop-up galleries in city centre vacant properties owned by Limerick City and County Council, in the lead up to Christmas, will be requested by open call in September.
At the June Metropolitan District meeting, Social Democrats councillor Shane Hickey-O’Mara asked if any Council-owned and/or vacant spaces had been identified for this scheme to date.
A motion was passed in regards temporary pop-up galleries in October 2024 to showcase the work of local artists in the run up to the Christmas season.
Arts Officer Etain McCooey told the meeting that the availability of Council-owned properties, which may be vacant and in a suitable condition for December, is being reviewed.
