Earlier this year, we were extremely fortunate to be given space in the Acre Project in Celbridge to work on our new direction into 3D. We have been spending many hours in this delightful setting - see photo above.

We were also thrilled to be chosen as one of the participants in Joyce Garvey's artist short, The Elders, which went on to win an award on its very first outing!

The start of a new year is always a time for reflection. For GRID Collective, the high point of 2024 was probably our outing to Russborough, but the rest of the year, while quiet in terms of exhibitions, was nonetheless a hard-working period as we are undertaking a project which goes way beyond the scope of previous works in its scale and ambition. Watch this space !

The Russborough Car Boot Art Fair took place on Sunday 15 September 2024. After a rather discouraging start of constant drizzle from 8 o’clock (set-up time) to around 11 o'clock (opening time), the fair was as enjoyable as ever. Having learned from previous experience, we had brought a lot more small works, and a lot fewer larger framed pieces, and both resulted in sales. But equally satisfying were the conversations with visitors and other artists and the sense of interest in and appreciation of the creative process, all of which made it a most encouraging and energizing experience.
