With artist Bart Lodewijks

Artist in Residence Bart Lodewijks will present his current practice, followed by an informal discussion and Q&A on his practice. The relaxed environment of the breakfast club is a great place to meet, socialise and get to know other artists living locally. Aimed at professional, emerging practitioners and students from any creative discipline. This informal meet up is a peer platform for local artists to gather, share information and present their work.

Lodewijks makes large scale, chalk drawings in public and private spaces. They appear on building facades and also inside people’s homes and the surrounding streets. The Model commissioned the artist to develop a three year public art project in Sligo’s urban streets and communities from 2012 – 2015, where his distinct abstract drawings responded to the social context in which they were made.
