James O’Halloran of Adams in Dublin will act as guest auctioneer at a sale for the Lavit Gallery at the Millennium Hall in Cork City Hall.
The Lavit is the gallery of Cork Arts Society, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year. It is one of the few remaining private art galleries to survive in Cork in the recession. All the artists have donated work for an auction of 90 lots that will act as a fundraiser to ensure the survival of the gallery. The sale is on on view at the gallery. Below is a small selection. The catalogue is on-line at www.lavitgallery.com
