In the context of the 2011 Year of Craft, the committee of the NCAD Gallery invites exhibition proposals from NCAD alumni of all faculties, who graduated in the years 2008, 2009 & 2010.

The written exhibition proposal should detail plans for an exhibition or installation of recent work, to take place at the NCAD Gallery in June 2011.

The Crafts Council of Ireland and Craft NI have designated 2011 as Year of Craft on the island of Ireland. The year marks the 40th anniversary of the Crafts Council of Ireland and will be celebrated through a diverse range of dynamic events and programmes throughout the island to showcase the very best of Irish craft.  

The NCAD Gallery programme will reflect that subject area in 2011. The gallery programme will focus on the interrogation as well as celebration of the term ‘craft’ in relation to art and design. Those making proposals should bear that focus in mind.

Proposals will be accepted from individual artists/makers, or from curators, or those wishing to organise a group exhibition. In the case of group or curated exhibitions, the curator/organiser and all proposed artists must have graduated from NCAD within the designated time frame 2008,2009 or 2010.

Deadline for proposals is February 14, 2011. Additional information can be found on the NCAD Gallery website.
