Dónall Curtin, Senior Partner in BCK Certified Public Accountants and Former President of Chambers Ireland will deliver the first lecture, The Art of Collecting, in a series of lectures on contemporary art topics at the Green On Red Gallery, Spencer Dock, next Thursday, March 12, 6-7pm. Attendance is free but booking advisable.
Dónall Curtin has broad experience of contemporary art through his ongoing attendance at and support of galleries, artists' events and art fairs over a period of 10-20 years. He has become a passionate champion and afficionado of contemporary art in its diverse media in Ireland and abroad. He will speak from first-hand experience of looking at and collecting contemporary over that period, about his changing views and vision. He will share the benefit of his experience and his adventure with all interested private or corporate parties in the gallery this Thursday.
Dónall will tackle some of the misconceptions around access to contemporary art and prompt some fresh thinking on this engaging past-time which, he maintains, is available to all and sundry.
Dónall is also a board member of The Abbey Theatre and Visual Arts Ireland.
We look forward to seeing you in Spencer Dock. To book a place at the lecture please email Jerome at jerome@greenonredgallery.com.
