The National Gallery of Ireland recently announced a new series of online art appreciation courses that will take place in 2022. Scheduled for winter, spring and autumn, the 8-week evening courses offer the perfect opportunity to learn more about art and discover lesser-known works from the national collection.

Each unique course will be hosted by expert art historians and guest speakers. Launching in January 2022, Artist, Writer, Image: Literary and Artistic Connections in the National Gallery of Ireland connects visual art and the written word with art historian Dr Kathryn Milligan. From March to May 2022, art historian and Gallery guide Jessica Fahy will explore a time of great change in Rebel Artists: 20th-century Irish women artists. Finally, from October 2022, The Art of Light moves from Caravaggio through to impressionistic art with Dr Sarah Wilson.

Interactive question and answer sessions will allow participants to pose questions and comments to the facilitators. Each session will be recorded and made available to view for one week afterwards to allow for catch up, or to watch again.
