    Irish Art Ep 12 - Our first interview from across the pond

    Peter Grimshaw - a retired Museum Professional-Freelance Artist/Art Educator - Peabody, Massachusetts, United States We discuss the effect of lockdown & how he is a 3rd gen Irish from Munster. Encouraged by his dad, who was an architect, to draw - and got into cartoon illustration and comic strips. He has worked in photography and taught it for 7 years.  Is retired and working on developing a brand new website to show his work since the '70s.  We go through the images available to see in our show notes over on our website www.ballyrogan.com - we invite you to have a look at them while listening to this episode as we listen to Peter discuss these pieces.  It’s a beautiful thing when artists from opposite ends of the globe can converse together, collaborate and be inspired to develop artistic ventures together.  We look forward to welcoming Peter to Ballyrogan sometime soon and developing collaborative exhibitions in each other's localities. Sarah is going to help Peter get online! Skill sharing and continuous learning are very important to us.

The Royal Hibernian Academy is an artist-based and artist-oriented institution in Ireland, founded in Dublin in 1823.  “We do hereby for us, our heirs and successors give and grant to the said Academicians that they shall and may hold Meetings of themselves for the better improvement and encouragement of the Arts of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, Drawing, Engraving and other Arts…” Extract of the Royal Hibernian Academy Charter of 1861 We talk about the current Sean Scully exhibition and how you can visit under the current restrictions. Admission is free and all are welcome, visit http://www.rhagallery.ie/visit/ for up to date information.  This year will mark the 191st Annual Exhibition, Patrick tells us about its history and community and how the shift to digital has affected the submission process.
