Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, TD, launched the ‘Art in the Hubs’ initiative and Longford is represented in the scheme by co:worx Edgeworthstown and The Yard, Abbeyshrule.
This unique new pilot scheme will see pieces of art placed in remote work facilities across the country that are on board the Connected Hubs network.
As part of the pilot, some 12 pieces of art will be loaned to different hubs by the Contemporary Irish Art Society (CIAS).
Six hubs in counties Monaghan, Longford, Cavan and Louth have been chosen under the initiative, which will now be rolled out nationwide.
Minister Humphreys said: “As a former Minister for the Arts, I know that art can be so powerful in terms of bringing a space to life.
“That’s exactly what we want to do with the 300-plus remote working hubs that are now on board the Connected Hubs network.
“This unique pilot initiative is about bringing art into the community.”
Said Mary Pavlides, Chairperson, CIAS: “We are delighted to team up with ConnectedHubs.ie for this programme. In CIAS, we are motivated by a desire to get contemporary visual art out into the community, into buildings where people can enjoy and engage with the work.”
