ArtisAnn is proud to present this exceptional group show featuring exciting artists from this year’s art college graduates.

This year we are highlighting the work of four up and coming female artists: Áine Crawford, Holly Hooks, Hayley McGinnis and Winifred Otowa.

Chosen due to their undoubted talent and their ability to show the world through different eyes, we are delighted to help them take the first steps in what can be an uncertain career.

Often fraught with difficulty in the best of times, the career of an artist is even more volatile in the current climate. Art is often considered a luxury and is one of the first things cast aside when times are tough. We, however, believe that a world without art is one not worth living in and so we will continue to promote and encourage young talent – indeed, all talent – where and when we can.

We hope that you too will join us in giving a helping hand to these new fledgling artists and, who knows, in years to come, you may have a valuable masterpiece that will fetch a fortune at auction! But even if it has no future monetary value, think of the years of pleasure you will derive from a unique, original artwork.

Dr Ann McVeigh, co-owner of ArtisAnn, says:

‘The ArtisAnn Gallery believes in offering encouragement to young and emerging artists and is confident that these are stars of the future. The artwork produced by these newcomers is remarkable both for its technical ability and breadth of new ideas. This is a very varied show, with two common linkages: all are recent graduates and all are of the highest quality, with every indication that they will be ‘names’ of the future.’

All artworks are available to buy.
