Plates & Palettes: Irish Food Culture Snapshots Past and Present

Ranging from the bustling yearly marketplace of Donnybrook Fair to the significant role of seaweed and potatoes in traditional Irish diets, we’ll look at three key paintings from the Irish Galleries: The Cock and Pot by Evie Hone, The Potato Diggers by Paul Henry and Carting Seaweed on Sutton Sands by Joseph Malachy Kavanagh.

Explore the diverse culinary scene that defines modern Ireland through the artwork of Graham Nuttall at Avoca Powerscourt, Nicky Hooper’s Irish Modern Pantry, Orla Walsh’s pop art, Simone Walsh’s The Pantry and Rachel Corcoran’s illustrations at the Gallery's gift shop – paired with artisan food and drink producers such as Black Castle, Kylemore and O’Hara’s.
