\nExhibition tour\, Saturday 11 April\, 3pm \;
\nAn exhibition of \;artwork by artist members including painting\, sculpture\, print\, \;photography\, \;ceramics \;and textiles. \;
\nSince \;Cork \;Arts Society (now trading as Lavit Gallery) was founded in 1963\, membership has been an important contributor to the longevity of the \;organisation. Membership was \;initiated \;as a means of supporting the activities of \;the society. Membership is still open to \;all \;but artists members continue to be Lavit Gallery&rsquo\;s most loyal supporters and so a members only open call is offered in the form of the Annual Members Exhibition. \; \; \;
\nEach year\, an appointed panel of three guest selectors choose \;approximately 90-100 \;out of over 300 artworks \;submitted \;by artist members\, who range from amateur artists to seasoned professionals. The judging panel for 2026 were Katie O'\;Grady\, Curator of Exhibitions + Projects at The Glucksman\, Michael Quane RHA\, artist and Sarah Foster\, Lecturer at MTU Crawford College of Art &\; Design. This year 393 artworks were \;submitted \;with a maximum of 3 pieces allowed per artist member. A total of 107 artworks were selected. Of the approximately 147 members who \;submitted \;72 are \;participating \;in the exhibition. \; \;
