This vibrant exhibition showcases the diversity of style, subject matter and artistic expression within the Open Studio group. From colourful abstracts and self-portraits, to serene landscapes, each piece reflects each artist’s individual approach, inviting viewers to explore a broad spectrum of creativity and imagination.
Open Studio is a weekly art workshop at the Réalta Centre for Arts + Health, which offers a creative and social outlet for people living in the community who may experience isolation due to ill-health or disability. Led by artist Jill Bouchier – and Ann Nolan in 2025 – with support from volunteer Sarah Lee, the workshop provides a relaxed, inclusive space where participants can develop their own art projects, connect with others and enjoy the benefits of cultivating a creative practice. Previous exhibitions by the Open Studio group include Separate Storms at University Hospital Waterford in 2011 and other Well Festival exhibitions including Cupán Tea (2013), The Feel Good Factory (2014), The Feel Good Factory II (2016), This is WHAT we’re all about (2018), Recollections (2020) and Gatherings (2023).
