For the first time since 2008, Mermaid is delighted to have invited submissions from artists who are living in, working in or originally from County Wicklow for an open exhibition in all visual art practices, including all 2D and 3D work, craft, video and audio works. The exhibition has been selected by Patrick T. Murphy, Director of the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin.

Mermaid Arts Centre will present €1,000 to the overall winner and two runners-up prizes of €250 each. All are welcome to the launch on Thursday 18 April at 6pm.
