"Unravelling an Icon, Celebrating and Remembering Brigid and her Legacy"

27th January - 18th February 2024

Kildare Town has been transformed into an open air art gallery, with more than twenty local businesses exhibiting 60 works of international and national art in their windows, as part of the Brigid 1500 celebrations in the New Year.

This uniquely accessible art exhibition, titled 'Unravelling an Icon, Celebrating and Remembering Brigid and her Legacy', has been organised by Sult Artists. Reflecting the traditions, customs and symbols associated with Brigid’s legacy, the exhibition will mark the 1500th anniversary of her death in February 2024.

Mary McGrath's piece for the exhibition, entitled ‘The Miracle of the Cloak and other scenes from the Life of Brigid of Kildare’, is in the form of an altar triptych. These three-panel artworks were used to tell a story and were a popular format for altar paintings from the Middle Ages upwards. Mary has created it using the traditional methods for this format - egg tempera and casein on panel with gesso and gold leaf.

The free Brigid 1500 Art Trail in Kildare town will be launched at 4pm on Saturday 27 January and will run from 28 January to 18 February 2024.
