What a lovely gesture - flowers from the author of the latest bespoke book. Nice to be appreciated, and it shows how, so often, making a book goes hand in hand with creating a great working relationship.

Last Bespoke Book of the year launched today - and just in time for Christmas. A fascinating account of 4 generations who bucked the trend and immigrated to Ireland from England in the 19th century. Congratulations to Richard Evans on getting his family’s story perfectly into print for future generations.

We have white smoke! After a full week judging Ireland’s finest press photographs for the AIB Press Photographer of the Year Award 2025, I am very tired but happy. Frank Miller (left), Chair of the Judging Panel, Shaun Botterill of Getty (right) and myself sorted through nearly 1500 pictures to pick the winners.

📢Visual Emotion exhibition update:📢

We are delighted to announce that John D. Kelly, along with All-Star hurler John Leahy, will be in conversation with Journalist Eamon Lacey in the gallery next Tuesday 10th December at 7pm.

Since John's hugely successful exhibition opened, so many people have met John in person and are blown away by his love of the people and normal activities in his compositions.

Eamon Lacey was stunned by the many stories behind each and every photograph taken. So, he has decided to invite John and a few friends to chat together and dig up some personal, classic and sporting stories to share with our guests on the night.

It should be a great evening of fun and chat, with a few prizes for some that have a lucky streak!

Spaces are very limited for this intimate event and must therefore be pre-booked. Please follow the link below to the Eventbrite page where you can purchase tickets for just €10.
