Declan McGonagle will chart the founding and development of the Orchard Gallery over his tenure from 1978 to 1991.

We are delighted to announce an illustrated talk about the Orchard Gallery’s programme, delivered by its first director Declan McGonagle.

Declan McGonagle will chart the founding and development of the Orchard Gallery over his tenure from 1978 to 1991. He will discuss how the different approaches to programming engaged communities of place and communities of interest from further afield and contributed to Derry’s cultural ecosystem. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss the strategic approach of the Orchard Gallery – understood as a public service – in relation to Declan McGonagle’s experiences and curatorial vision. The audience is encouraged to participate, to discuss and ask questions during the event.

We expect this event to reach full capacity, so please cancel your free booking if you cannot attend the talk any longer so the place can be given to another person.

  • 18th of July
  • 2:00pm to 3:30pm.
  • Void Art Centre, 10 Waterloo Place, Derry
