The Office of Public Works (OPW) and the Department of Finance of the Stormont Executive (DoF) have been collaborating on organising art exhibitions since the late 1990s.  These exhibitions involve touring artworks from both public owned collections to venues throughout the island.  In recent years, the exhibitions have opened up into broader partnerships with other cultural organisations.
