Primary Colours Sligo 2019 Projects
Gallery Exhibition 2019
The exhibition Cúram was a four person exhibition by artists Daniel Chester, Cherry Dowling, Amy McGovern and Stephen Rennicks.
The four artists in the exhibition were inspired by their work within health and care settings. Artists Daniel Chester and Amy McGovern creative practices were influenced by their art sessions with older adults in care centres. While artists Cherry Dowling and Stephen Rennicks own creative practice was given direction by their work as home care workers supporting older adults aging and sick that are living at home.
A number of practicing artists work as home carer helpers and art facilitators alongside their own creative artist practice. This is an area the Sligo Arts Service, Arts + Health programme were very interested in exploring, supporting and developing.
