We are delighted to announce that Sophie Longwill has been awarded the Cork Opera House 170th Anniversary Visual Art Commission in partnership with Sample-Studios and Fleetwood Paints. On the occasion of the announcement, Sample-Studios Artistic Director Aoibhie McCarthy stated: “As one of Ireland’s largest artist studios, Sample-Studios’ mission is to launch, support and sustain creative careers in Cork. This commission is an important expression of that mission and will now offer a prominent platform for a local emerging artist. What better way to mark this significant milestone than by reinvesting in homegrown artistic talent and animating one of our most treasured arts spaces through Sophie Longwill’s vision and the medium of glass.”
Congratulations to Sophie!
