Affinities

An Exhibition of Contemporary Illustration as part of Irish Design Week Thursday, Nov 20th Starting from 7pm

What links our creative consciousness? What feeds our collective output? Away from modern life and the onslaught of global information, our minds draw inspiration from the spaces around us as well as the spaces within. 

For this show we asked 23 illustrators to interpret an activity or place that helps calm their minds to create the space needed for creativity to emerge.

Debbie Jenkinson - Paula McGloin - Conor Merriman - Niall McCormack - Alé Mercado - Alan Dunne - Diarmuid Ó Catháin - Grace Enemaku - Lauren O’Neill - Rachel Corcoran - Jon McCormack - Linda Fährlin - Cathy Hogan - John Devolle - Dermot Flynn - Ashwin Chacko - Brian Gallagher - Dominique Serfontaine - Margaret Anne Suggs - Úna Woods - Paul Nugent - Tatyana Feeney - Digital Beast

Come join us at 7pm on Thursday 20th November for wine, nibbles, tunes and great art.

Affinities is a group show by the members of Illustrators Ireland in collaboration with The Space Between and generously supported by the Design and Crafts Council Ireland for Irish Design Week 2025. This exhibition will also play across 100 digital screens/billboards nationwide through Micromedia.
