Join us at 6:30pm for a family friendly tour of our current solo exhibition Clann Miotlantach / Mythlantics by Alice Rekab, led by Róisín Doherty.

Recommended for ages 7+

Róisín Doherty is a visual artist based in Galway, originally from Cruit Island in Northwest Donegal. She recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Creative Practice from ATU Galway. She has widely exhibited both nationally and internationally, being the only Irish Artist selected during COP26 to showcase her work in Transmission Gallery, Glasgow. She is a recipient of the Youth Arts Explorer grant from the National Youth Council of Ireland in 2023, working with young people to combine local environmental knowledge with art therapy. She was granted funding by the Heritage Council in March 2025 to undergo a project on tangible and intangible Island Heritage.

Róisín has a multidisciplinary approach to her practice combining drawing, painting, sound and photography along with found objects in her installations. Beach combing, sound recording and walking are essential to her work. She is interested in the connection and disconnection between people and nature. Through her work she delves into the loss of natural life that coincides with the end of traditional Island living. She immerses herself into the machair habitat on the Island, home to many species that are merely hanging on by thread. Roisin’s intricate and detailed work reflects the deep connection our ancestors once had with the environment.

“Thursday Lates” is funded by Galway City Council and the Department of Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sports as part of the Galway City Night-Time Economy Action Plan.
