I was in the delightful Bite of Life cafe on Patrick St this morning when I heard them telling some regulars about a fundraiser event – so I got the details to spread the word here, as it sounds just lovely.
Bite of Life, DIT and the National Gallery have come together to raise funds for the Conservation Department of the National Gallery of Ireland. They’ve arranged a special evening this Thursday, 1st March. For only €30, guests will get to:
- visit the Conservation Dept (never opened for the public before) and receive a guided tour from the Head of Conservation, Simone Mancini
- get a guided tour of the highlights of the permanent collection of the National Gallery
- attend a canape reception with live music, wine, finger food, cakes and a raffle
- visit an exhibition of paintings and photographs from Irish artists and art students – all for sale
Doesn’t it sound like a fantastic evening? There are limited places still available, so contact Daniela Macrai on 087 693 9217 or email mackraydani@yahoo.com.
