Laois Arthouse Collective are a group of painters, ceramicists and mixed media artists who came together in 2019, meeting monthly at Laois Arthouse in Stradbally to share their work, organise exhibitions and creative projects together, as well as offer each other support and encouragement. When the pandemic hit, the group continued to weave their web of support, meeting online and creating art alongside each other via Zoom and social media throughout the past year.
