SUMMARY:Returning / Heritage | Maeve McCarthy at Municipal Gallery dlr LexI
 con
DESCRIPTION:Maeve McCarthy\, Returning / Heritage\n\nDún Laoghaire-Rathdow
 n County Council is pleased to present Returning / Heritage\, an exhibitio
 n of new artworks by Maeve McCarthy. The exhibition opens at the Municipal
  Gallery\, dlr LexIcon in Dún Laoghaire on Sunday 6 July and runs until W
 ednesday 3 September 2025\, admission is free.\n\nThe exhibition features 
 new paintings\, charcoal drawings\, objects and a film. Through her work\,
  McCarthy explores her mother’s family story\, from their roots in Count
 y Down to her grandparents’ move from Kilmainham to Sandycove in the 193
 0s. She revisits gardens\, houses\, and familiar paths from the past. Some
  are still standing\, others have changed or disappeared. The exhibition i
 nvites visitors to think about what is passed down through generations and
  how memories continue to live on even after physical places change. It is
  a gentle and thoughtful look at identity\, belonging\, and the power of l
 etting go.\n\nReturning / Heritage is the result of a dlr Visual Art Commi
 ssion\, which was awarded to Maeve McCarthy. The commission gives artists 
 the opportunity to create a new body of work that is responsive to Dún La
 oghaire-Rathdown. It is funded by the Arts Council and supported by Dún L
 aoghaire-Rathdown County Council.\n\nAlongside the exhibition\, dlr Arts O
 ffice will run a programme of accompanying talks\, workshops and events. T
 his offers many opportunities for people of all ages to interact with the 
 gallery in different ways\, learning about and trying out different art-ma
 king techniques. For further details\, visit the website: www.dlrcoco.ie/a
