Happy 5th Birthday Glucksman Gallery!
17.10.2009

On October 14th the Glucksman Gallery celebrated its 5th birthday with launch of a new look website http://www.glucksman.org  To mark the occasion Loretta Brennan Glucksman and UCC President, Dr Michael Murphy officially launched the website in the gallery.
The gallery first opened its doors on October 14th 2004 and has since proved to be a major cultural attraction with annual visitor numbers exceeding 70,000.  As part of the gallery birthday celebrations the Glucksman is now seeking to engage with an online audience. From October 2009, the Lewis Glucksman Gallery is creating a podcast archive of artists talks, curatorial conversations, exhibition tours and gallery events that we hope will be of interest to our online audiences. We will provide regular updates about our activities through twitter and facebook. Join us to be part of the conversation - we look forward to hearing from you! http://glucksman.org/online.html

Director Fiona Kearney said: “As we celebrate five years of the gallery, it felt timely to reach out to audiences online. Since, the Glucksman opened we have built up a committed regional and national audience for our programmes. Now, we want to connect our activities in Cork with partners globally from San Francisco to Shanghai. The new website and regular podcasts will enable audiences worldwide to access films and education tools on our exhibitions and events, hopefully creating a conversation without boundaries.”

Help celebrate our birthday by leaving a greeting on our new social media sites!  Join us to be part of the conversation - we look forward to hearing from you!
