You are invited to the launch
of
Little Stories Little Prints
A 1916 Commemorative Project through Printmaking
at
Galway City Museum
on
Friday 2nd September at 2pm
The exhibition will be officially opened by Sabina Higgins
Little Stories Little Prints is a 1916 Commemorative Visual Arts Project through the medium of Printmaking. Almost fifty Printmakers from eight Printmaking Studios around Ireland accepted an invitation to participate in the project, which aims to create awareness of little known events or incidents during or around the time of the Easter Rising in 1916. The artists researched incidents and aspects of life at the time and created little prints in response to their research. The prints, along with their stories are presented in the exhibition.
The project was devised and coordinated by Pamela de Brí, in collaboration with the Leinster Printmaking Studio, Clane, Co Kildare and assisted by Studio Manager Margaret Becker.
A limited edition illustrated publication is available for purchase on request.
The prints, along with the stories, incidents or events that inspired them, can be viewed on the website www.littlestorieslittleprints.com. The project is supported by Co. Kildare Library and Arts Services and Dublin City Libraries. Further information email [email protected] or phone 0876616863.
The exhibition will run in the museum foyer until 29th October 2016.
Best wishes,
Galway City Museum

Is Tionscadal Comórtha Amharcealaíona é “Little Stories Little Prints’, (Scéaltaí Bheaga, Priontaí Beaga) trí mheán déanta priontaí. Ghlac thart ar leathchéad priontálaithe, a bhaineann le hocht stiúideonna ar fud na hÉireann, cuireadh bheith páirteach sa togra seo. Tá mar aidhm ag an togra eolas a scaipeadh ar eachtraí nó ar tarlúintí a tharla le linn nó thart ar aimsir Éirí Amach na Cásca 1916, nach bhfuil mórán eolais futhu.
D’eagraigh comhordaitheoir an tionscadail imeachtaí eolais chun chabhrú leis na healaíontóirí taighde a dhéanamh ar eachtraí nó ar ghnéithe den saol ag an am. Bhí mar treoir ag na healaíontóirí eagrán teoranta de fiche mionphriontaí a chruthú mar fhreagra ar an taighde agus iad a thaispeáint taobh leis an scéal nó an eachtra a spreag iad.
Is féidir breathnú ar na priontaí, maraon leis na scéalta a spreag iad, ar an suíomh idirlíon: www.littlestorieslittleprints.com
Is féidir eagrán teoranta i bhfoirm leabhráin de na priontaí agus na scéalta a ghabhann leo a cheannach tríd an suíomh idirlíon nó ag [email protected]
Pamela de Brí a cheap agus a chomhordaigh an tionscadal i gcomhar le Stiúideo Déanta Priontaí Laighin, le cabhair ó Margaret Becker.
Thug Seirbhísí Ealaíne agus Leabharlainne Cho. Chill Dara tacaíocht don tionscadal, le cabhair bhreise ó Leabharlann Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath.
Beidh an taispeántas ar siúl sa foyer i músaem go dtí 29ú Deireadh Fomhair 2016.
Le gach dea-ghuí,
Músaem Cahtrach na Gaillimhe.
