'Landscapes & Mindscapes' Photography Exhibition
Jennings Gallery at Brookfield Health Sciences Complex UCC. Works of photography by three UCC Staff members: Dr Colman Casey, Dr Frank van Pelt and Prof Colin Bradley
This show demonstrates that not only beauty but drama, wit, vitality, reflection and occasionally opportunism are also very much in the photographer's mind as images are captured in the moment, patiently awaited or painstakingly crafted with the camera's lens. Works are offered for sale in signed and numbered limited editions of 10.

Art at the Cork Opera House
Today the Cork Opera House launched their collection of 37 pieces of art featuring some of Cork’s eminent and emerging artists. The Chairman of the Cork Opera House, Dr Charlie Hennessy introduced Professor Colm O Briain, Director of the National College of Art and Design who opened the collection at the Cork Opera House.
The Cork Opera House started collecting the works in 2000 after the refurbishment of the front of the Opera House. The objective was to collect and exhibit the work of artists working in Cork including young art students, who were given a start in their career with both a financial boost and the much needed exposure in exhibiting their work at the Cork Opera House. The majority of art was purchased through the 1 % art scheme with some on loan from artist and owners and others donated from artist and Corkonians.
Opening the collection Professor Colm O Briain spoke of the importance of public art and art in a non gallery context. He added “it is now very important for works of art to be seen in other environments such as offices, schools, hotels, hospitals and theatres”
The collection features some of Ireland’s well established artists such as William Crozier, Tom Walsh, Bridget Flannery, Maurice Desmond, Charles Tyrell, Charlo Quain, Maria Simonds-Gooding and emerging artists such as Tom Clement, Martin Finnan, Shane Johnson, Tonia Kehoe and Eamonn O’ Ceallachain.
The Chairman of the Cork Opera House concluded the event by saying “we felt the most appropriate time to launch this collection was during 150th anniversary of the Cork Opera House and in the week that Opera House was unofficially opened in a benefit concert for the Cork Blind Asylum on the 29th January 1855”. Dr Hennessey added “in the year Cork is the designated European Capital of Culture we are delighted to display these works of art to over two hundred thousand people who visit the Opera House yearly.
The 37 works of art are on display throughout the Cork Opera House stairwells and reception areas for the general public to enjoy. A brochure on the collection is available at the reception of the Cork Opera House.
