FRIENDS OF THE GALLERY
The Friends of the Crawford Gallery was established in May 1989, under Mrs. R. O'Brien as Honorary Secretary
and has grown to over four hundred members.As an independent support organisation, the Friends are dedicated to increasing
the Irish art collection housed in the Gallery through assisting with acquisitions
and purchasing art works.
As patrons of the arts, the Friends are dedicated to building public awareness
of the superb collection and providing additional support to safeguard
the Crawford Gallery collection. Members of the Friends
have the opportunity to take part in weekly coffee mornings in the Gallery
Café,
monthly lunchtime lectures and music recitals in the lecture
theatre of the Crawford Gallery.
Excursions are arranged
to tour period homes, notable landmarks and gardens, art collections
and exhibitions throughout Ireland and annual holidays abroad to
visit collections of international calibre.
