Study In Ireland: TUS Art And Design School Announces 2024 Christmas Showcase

TUS 2024 Christmas Showcase will have the artwork of over 100 talented artists. It will offer a mix of fine art, ceramics, fashion, sculpture and photography.

Technological University of the Shannon's Limerick School of Art and Design has announced its highly anticipated 2024 Christmas Showcase. It will be organized from December 3, 2024, to December 23, 2024.

While commenting on this, Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, said, “Limerick City and County Council is delighted to support the Limerick School of Art and Design’s Christmas Showcase 2025 at the heart of our city. The transformation of the unoccupied Debenhams building into a vibrant pop-up gallery is a wonderful initiative that brings much-needed life and creativity to this important part of Limerick. This showcase not only celebrates the incredible talent of LSAD students and alumni but also fosters community engagement and festive cheer."

“I encourage everyone to visit and experience the unique cultural offerings, support our emerging artists, and enjoy the festive events that will animate our city centre this holiday season. This project aligns closely with the vision for More Culture, Visual & Performing Arts as outlined in Limerick’s Mayoral Programme. Instead of the arts being largely hidden away from view, we have a much more visible celebration of the arts,” added John Moran.

2024 Christmas Showcase To Be Grander This Year

Lidija Savickaite, head of the LSAD Exhibition Society, commented, “The LSAD Exhibition Society was founded to give students a platform to present their work and learn to curate and exhibit in new spaces. After two successful showcases at the Crescent Shopping Centre, we aimed for something even bigger this year. Thanks to the support of TUS faculty, especially Eleanor Moloney, we secured the former Debenhams space in the heart of Limerick city. Transforming this derelict building into a creative hub."

“This showcase unites current students, alumni, and faculty, while spotlighting the work of LSAD and our partner societies like the LSAD Photography Society. This isn’t just an exhibition; it’s about bringing great minds together, working collaboratively, and seeing what we can create in such a large space. This event will bring the Limerick community together and give our artists the chance to sell their work and gain recognition. I’m excited to reopen the doors of Debenhams and show that these derelict buildings can become amazing community spaces and creative hubs," added Lidija Savickaite.
