I am a photographer based in Clare and currently developing a book project that will feature portraits of Irish artists. I am hoping to present a equal mix of established and emerging artists from all kinds of art forms: Sculpture, painting, photography, etc. Being part of the book would involve an interview and a photo session.

I invite any artists to ‘draw a lego’ in any medium they want for an art exhibition dedicated to Lego in Dublin. It can be anything from a Lego character to Lego toys in a scene. Particularly the old Lego toys from my/our childhood the 90s like Lego paradisa, pirates and castles. I am actually planning to organize it myself and would like to find a venue to host it. There is no venue at the moment.  Any help or/and suggestions are welcome . Please join/contact me via:  http://www.facebook.com/events/369410446443128. Deadline: 20 May 2012

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, artist Jonathan Barry has completed his trilogy of Titanic oil paintings illustrating the dramatic events of the liner’s final hours on 14th and 15th April 1912. These meticulously detailed and researched oil paintings depict the moments when the Titanic struck the iceberg at 11.40pm, when she fired her distress rockets to attract the attention of The Californian at 1.30am, and when Titanic finally started her descent to the ocean floor at 2.20am | Contact Jonathan on T: 087 66 17280 | E: jonathanbarry@eircom.net
