Art in the Park - Cork


Artists in residence project which ran until 2013 at The Lord Mayor's Pavilion, Fitzgerald Park, Cork City. Visual artist and project manager P Gurgel-Segrillo, visual artist Monica Jones and textile artist Louise Foott were the core artists. 

In this beautiful Arts and Crafts style building they created art inspired by the park, as well as invited other Cork City artists for collaborations, exhibitions and to offer classes, workshops and arts facilitation sessions.
Art in the Park - Cork was a self-funded project - it did not rely on public funding and there was always FREE entry to the building.

For more information about the project please contact  P Gurgel-Segrillo, Project Manager artinthepark[at]gurgel-segrillo.com

P Gurgel-Segrillo continues to offer Arts & Crafts workshops. She is a member of CRAFTed: Crafts Council of Ireland's Education Panel which aims for the development and delivery of training programmes relating to the Visual Arts curriculum at primary level.

Art in the Park - Cork is a self-funded project (it does not rely on public funding), therefore part of the educational programme's fees goes towards the running of classes, workshops and exhibitions we offer.

FREE entry to the building.

We ask visitors to be mindful of noise levels when classes/workshops are taking place.

As an artists run project, there are no set opening hours as we cannot man the building during all park hours.

Come share your ideas and help create our dream city! 

Let’s be inspired by themes such as: community, sustainability, “be the change you want to see in the world”, all-inclusive spaces, cultural diversity etc.
