'Grief’s Current Shape', is a new thread-based exhibition by Ciara O’Connor which explores the various stages of grief, and a personal attempt to lean into it all.
Ciara O’Connor is a Kerry-based visual artist who works primarily with textiles and free-motion embroidery. Her work is figurative and deals with themes of identity, feminism, trauma and recovery. She is interested in pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques to tell contemporary stories.
Since returning to her practice in 2019, she has been selected for 15 group shows, including Following Threads in Crawford Art Gallery, and RUA and RSA Annuals. She had her first solo show in Garter Lane Arts Centre, in 2022, and has featured in FAIRE, Image Magazine, The Irish Examiner, The Kerryman, and VAN Jan/Feb 2024. Her second solo show opens on September 6 in Garter Lane Arts Centre.
The free exhibition is available at the Main Gallery at Garter Lane
The much-loved Americana soul band, The Delines, return to Waterford for a highly anticipated performance.
This marks their third visit to the city, following two sold-out shows at the Imagine Arts Festival (2019) and Subterranean Sounds (2022).
Hailing from Portland, Oregon, The Delines were born out of cult alt-country band Richmond Fontaine. The group is led by the acclaimed novelist and songwriter Willy Vlautin, and fronted by the velvet-smooth vocals of Amy Boone, backed by an exceptional band: Sean Oldham (drums), Cory Gray (keys/trumpet), and Freddie Trujillo (bass).
Their just-released fourth album, 'The Lucky and the Doom', continues their tradition of cinematic, character-driven songwriting and lush, soulful arrangements.
