RHA School Presents Major Group Exhibition of Emerging Artists.

The RHA School is pleased to present a dynamic group exhibition featuring work by current students and recent graduates, opening on the third floor of the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts. The exhibition coincides with the public launch of the 196th RHA Annual Exhibition, presented in association with McCann FitzGerald, offering audiences a compelling insight into the next generation of artistic talent.

This exhibition brings together 76 works developed through the School’s Resolution modules – an intensive programme designed to support artists in bringing their practice from early-stage research and experimentation through to fully realised exhibition. Across painting and drawing, participating artists have engaged in a rigorous schedule of group critiques, one-to-one tutorials, and professional practice lectures throughout the academic year.

The resulting exhibition reflects both the diversity and ambition of contemporary practice emerging from the RHA School, showcasing work that is exploratory, technically assured, and conceptually driven. The selection has been curated by Colin Martin RHA and Dorothy Smith ARHA.

Participating artists include:

Drawing Resolution Students:
Bernadette Blanchard, Stephanie Cuddy-Cullen, Zoë Dillon, Margie Dunne, Ellie Dunne, Anne Marie Hayes, Niamh Hoare, Nathalie Marshall, Irina McAuley, Grainne Mulligan, Inga Ryan, Merve Sagit.
