THE PAINTING COLLECTION: Limerick City Gallery of Art is home to an important collection of Irish paintings which spans a period stretching from the 18th century to the present day. The paintings demonstrate a variety of styles describing different trends in recent western European history. THE NATIONAL COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY DRAWING: Limerick City Gallery of Art holds the National Collection of Contemporary Drawing. Drawing is one of the most intimate, most immediate and most natural creative acts- a print of human exchanges of emotion, ideas, plans and explanations. Many of the drawings demand that we suspend our desire to forge literal sense from the work, and look instead at what is given and feel comfortable in assuming partial responsibility for interpretation of the work. THE SCULPTURE COLLECTION: Sculptors seem to betray a special sensitivity to materials, and enjoy working in three dimensions. Nowadays, sculpture often includes pieces that work with natural and built environments, addressing particular natural features, architecture or social attitudes of different places. THE PHOTOGRAPHY AND MULTI-MEDIA COLLECTION: With advances in technology the tools and means for making art have increased. Many contemporary artists make use of photography, video and newer digital technologies in their practice. THE CONTEMPORARY EXHIBITION PROGRAMME: Limerick City Gallery of Art exhibits a wide range of artists, local, national and international. Work in many different media is shown including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, installation and new media.
