A multi-generational art exhibition opened at The People's Museum in Limerick on a December evening, featuring works by Michael Collins, Clare Hartigan, Barbara Hartigan, Oisín Cleary, Teresa Collins, and Martin Finnin. The launch, supported by wine from Rocky of The Commercial pub, drew a community crowd and continued with an after-party, blending family ties and artistic disciplines across decades.
This exhibition matters because it transforms a local museum into a living dialogue between generations, highlighting how familial and artistic lineages intersect in Limerick's cultural scene. By showcasing both established and emerging artists in an intimate setting, it underscores the role of community spaces in nurturing creative continuity and local identity.
