Art lets us express ourselves and helps us to understand our world – and its value to the community cannot be overstated. At Southern, we are all about stories, and expression. It’s why we’re delighted to have contributed so much in terms of the promotion of art initiatives in Limerick and beyond.
Arts
We welcome the bold and the experimental.
At Southern, we know the importance of art. And science agrees – the arts, and the appreciation of art, improve our quality of life.
Expressive Arts
We get to collaborate with artists, poets, and lots of people who inspire us. From arts festivals to literacy drives, from contemporary art to chamber music, we speak about art, and through it.
EVA International
EVA leads in the commissioning and curating of contemporary art by Irish and international artists, culminating in a programme of artistic encounters, exhibitions, and education projects every two years in Limerick city and beyond.
