Introduction: Artists at The lost property project

Firstly our Mission: Provide artists with a temporary space to exhibit to the public with a chance for the audience to invest, view, and engage with emerging artists during the Wicklow Arts Festival that occurs annually from the 23-25^th of May in Wicklow Town. This year we will be open before the Festival from Monday 19th to Sunday 25th Of May.(On the right are photographs of the space before and during our exhibition.) 

A few words on the organiser: The exhibition and events that occur within the lost property project are organised by the project manager, Ruth O’Hagan. Ruth has seven years arts industry experience and has worked with organisations such as Axis Arts Centre Ballymun, Mermaid Arts Centre, Centre of Creative Practices and Visual Artists Ireland. She feels very passionately about all aspects of the arts in Ireland and enjoys working with artists to promote and encourage audiences to engage with their work.
