Christ Church Cathedral launches summer exhibition of icons
Christ Church Cathedral will launch its summer exhibition of icons following a service of choral evensong at 6.00 pm tomorrow, Thursday June 22. The iconographer is Adrienne Lord, BA, Fine Art Hons.
Adrienne will be showing icons from the Greek Byzantine tradition along with some Russian inspired icons.
The exhibition remains in place until the end of September and there will be demonstrations by the artist on the last Friday of each month between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm.
The exhibition will raise funds for charity and Adrienne has donated her icons for this purpose. A Triptych Deesis altarpiece, worth €1,000 will be raffled. Tickets will be on sale at the opening and from the entrance desk throughout the exhibition. Funds raised from the raffle will be presented to SPPD in Tamil Nadu, India, a non–profit, non–governmental organisation that works to improve the conditions of communities living in poverty in Tamil Nadu.
The proceeds of sales made during the exhibition will go to a registered charity nominated by the purchaser. Sales of the icons on the opening night will be donated to one of four charities nominated by the artist.
Everyone is welcome to the launch which will be carried out by Canon Patrick Comerford.
