28th June – 27th July

Coast is a group exhibition which explores the space where the land meets the sea. To coincide with And So I Watch You From Afar, by Aindreas Scholz, artists were invited to interpret this theme in your own unique style, through any medium.

In Ireland, the coast defines our geography and our consciousness, stretching over 3,171 kilometers and connecting us to the vastness of the ocean. From the wild Atlantic shores to the more sheltered eastern inlets, our relationship with the sea is one of survival, industry, recreation, and reflection. Coast explores these tensions, capturing the beauty, fragility, and power of our ever-changing shorelines.

COAST was shown in the Mezzanine Gallery at Artlink, Fort Dunree as part of The Earagail Arts Festival 2025.
