The historic Titanic Drawing Offices of Harland & Wolff hosts the RUA's choice of 530 works of leading and emerging local and international artists for its 127th Annual Irish Art Exhibition, RUA President Rita Duffy: “This venue has been transformed into a major gallery - this is our effort to foster a respect for the visual, and generate a really vibrant exhibition that engages and develops the important relationships needed to create enthusiastic patrons and participants in ambitious artistic projects”. With support from KPMG, Arts & Business and the Arts Council, the RUA have developed an education strand in tandem with the exhibition. Noirin McKinney of the Arts Council NI said: “The exhibition and outreach programme create more opportunities for people to get involved and enjoy the arts - everyone should visit the exhibition and take part in the talks and workshops on offer.” Despite some criticism of its choices, there is a buzz about the RUA this year that makes it totally unmissable.
