2022 marks 21 years of the Golden Fleece Award, and we are delighted to be celebrating this milestone with a very special exhibition of work by Golden Fleece Award artists – past and present – at Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Co. Meath.

The Golden Fleece Award was established through a bequest by artist, researcher, and educator, Lillias Mitchell (1915-2000). It is the largest annual prize open to both artists and makers in Ireland. The Award’s mission is to provide resources for practising contemporary visual artists, makers, craftspeople and designers working in all forms of visual, craft and applied art to innovate and develop their artistic vision.

This hugely eclectic and diverse exhibition presents work from past recipients of the Golden Fleece Award, as well as this year’s winners. It provides a unique insight into art, craft, and design in Ireland over the past two decades, showcasing work by over 40 creative practitioners working in film, painting, jewellery, sculpture, fashion, glass, furniture, ceramics, basket-making, photography, textiles, sound, and more.

The exhibition is accompanied by a series of learning and engagement events programmed by Solstice Arts Centre – visit their website for more information and booking.
