PRINTED MATTER, the Galway Print Studio Annual Members' Show, opens next week and promises to be an in depth exploration of printmaking in the west of Ireland.
Featuring works created through contemporary techniques, as well as traditional methods, will be held in the Connacht Printworks Gallery, Market Street, from Wednesday August 17 to Sunday 27. Among those exhibiting is 2015 Galway Print Studio Bursary Award winner and GMIT fine art print graduate, Mike Davoren.
