    What’s On in the Arts / Dec 2018 and Jan 2019

    Crawford Gallery in Cork looks to its own as it celebrates the work of six contemporary local artists excelling in craft. The recent exhibition, Made in Cork: the Arts and Crafts Movement from the 1880s to the 1920s examined the Arts and Craft movement and its influence in Ireland.  Building on that knowledge, Earth, Wind, and Fire: Made in Cork Contemporary picks up on the theme. The new exhibition will demonstrate the nature and extent of the stimulating, exhilarating, and exciting work that is being made by Cork based artists in the twenty first century.

    Christmas is always associated with pantomime and there is plenty happening in that regard at venues big and small around the country.  If you are looking for something else or in addition, then How To Catch A Star is definitely worth considering. Based on the beloved book by Oliver Jeffers, it is created by Branar Téatar do Pháistí, one of Ireland’s leading theatre companies for young audiences. They like to see themselves as, ‘creating big stories for little citizens’. This nonverbal adaptation of Jeffers’ book shows off their signature style of story-telling. For audiences aged 4 and up (including adults), it reminds us all to follow our dreams. (booking from theark.ie)

    First Fortnight is a mental health arts charity that began as a kitchen conversation 10 years ago and has grown from one event to more than 150 events nationwide. The festival aims to challenge mental health stigma by using arts events to create open discussion and understanding of mental health problems. Check out the complete programme on firstfornight.ie and find an event where you are.

    Music features strongly in various programmes at the start of the year. Irish Chamber Orchestra and guests reflect on 100 years of the Irish Republic through poetry, music, and song in The First 100 Years at Mermaid Arts Centre; Swansong: Intimations of Mortality is the theme for Music for Galway’s classical performance event; Scottish songstress Siobhan Miller and the honeyed tones of Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh combine in a Music Network tour; Tradfest in Temple Bar is a welcome sight at the end of January.

    Finally, a word for Stan & Ollie. In 1953, the duo embarked on a regional tour in the UK as their star is waning and interest in them is melting away. But a series of TV and celebrity appearances remind people of just how good and unique they really were. Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly inhabit the roles of Stan and Ollie as one of comedy’s most famous double acts as they enter their twilight years. Nationwide from January 11.
