The 'new Irish' part of the title also refers to the ideal of a less parochial and more fluid and multi-cultural Irish society that extends to our national identity. In a commercial context creating a local market for new or unfamiliar art can be a challenge given the largely traditional\, conservative and tribal nature of the Irish art market but it is important that all good work is given a platform and that we encourage tastes to broaden locally and nationally. \n\n\n\nAs a not-for-profit arts organisation and registered charity Cork Arts Society\, trading as Lavit Gallery\, greatly appreciates the support of our colleagues running sales-based galleries in Dublin. Included in this exhibition are artists represented by Solomon Fine Art\, Taylor Galleries and Kevin Kavanagh Gallery.
