Photo by David Reilly | photo of what is probably the opening of the annual exhibition a year ago; we see many people standing around chatting in a large gallery space; quite close to the camera is a human-size sculpture, which does not particularly resemble a human; it is painted a uniform pink and possibly constructed out of various domestic objects; one ‘leg’ of the sculpture ends in what looks more or less like a small mound of porridge; near another leg is a pink teapot with a hole knocked in it

Each year Rua Red holds an annual open-call exhibition of fine and applied arts. Work is invited from artists in any discipline and at all career stages. The Open serves as a platform to support and encourage emerging and established artists. It is an opportunity to see the breadth and vibrancy of the work being created today and to find new and unexpected connections.

This year’s exhibition explores the theme of borders and boundaries. A border separates one thing from another. The part or edge of a surface or area that forms its outer boundary, verge, periphery, or rim. A line, limit, or geographic feature separating one space from another.

Borders is Rua Red’s annual open exhibition of fine and applied arts 2024. This open submission is an opportunity for graduates, emerging and established artists living in Ireland (including the North of Ireland) to exhibit their work in Gallery 1. The overall winner of the Rua Red Art Prize will be awarded a solo show in Gallery 2 at some point during the ensuing 12-month period.

The selection panel for this year’s annual open featured Rua Red’s Hugh McCarthy, Kimberly Griffith Walsh, and Órla McGovern, and invited panel member artist Paul McGrane.

McGrane won the Judges’ Choice Award in 2022 and exhibited his solo show ‘I Will Follow You Into the Dark’ here at Rua Red from February to April 2023.
