We’re kicking off 2022 with a new Gallery Learning Programme that’s all about stepping outside the paved streets of the city and out to the wintery beauty that’s waiting for us in the fresh air. With the outdoors acting as our comfort zone more than ever, we thought we’d give you some ideas for observing, learning, and creating, both online and in-person. Escape the City and join us!
The start of the year also marks the launch of new online projects; we’re happy to present a new illustration commission to accompany our themes throughout the year, starting with Katya Polezhaeva’s fantastic work for our winter theme. Katya’s illustration invites you to escape the city to explore and enjoy nature, or if it’s too cold escape through books and art to fantastic landscapes and stories. Keep an eye out for more details and compositions over the next few months.
Also launching is our hashtag #dlrLens. During 2022 we’ll work with local photographers to create a weekly response to our theme. Lookout for Róisín White’s inspiring photographic work on our social media channels starting Saturday 15th January, tagged with #dlrLens and #dlrLens_EscapeTheCity. Feel free to join in, post your own creations, and tag them.
Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for news of more activities responding to this theme, coming soon.
