EUROPE'S EDGE Ireland - The Artist and the Island.
Tromsø was the unlikely venue for Irish Art's current exhibition Europe's Edge. In what was probably the largest ever showing of Irish contemporary visual art in Norway, the exhibition explored themes as diverse as the styles of the contributing artists. The exhibition was held at the Tromsø University Library Gallery and ran from December 2nd 2010 until January 13th 2011.
The exhibition was a great success!

RORY INKASSO
In September 2009 Rory Mitchell opened an exhibition 'Rory inkasso' at his gallery in Oslo, showcasing new art-work from that year. It was a large show including over 50 drawing and paintings. John Fitzgerald of Irish Fine Arts collaborated in the curation and was an integral part of not only the promotion, but also of the the co-ordination of the vernissage. His contributions were instrumental in resulting in a highly professional exhibition which ran smoothly throughout its duration.
