Drawing on the Past – Wicklow Discoveries, is an art exhibition curated by Déantán and supported by the Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland (IAI). Running from 18–31 August 2025, the exhibition features work by artist Róisín O Meadhra, who reimagines Wicklow’s archaeological artefacts through the traditional craft of archaeological illustration and contemporary artistic interpretation.
“This project reawakens archaeological artefacts through visual interpretation, connecting people with their cultural heritage in fresh and accessible ways,” says curator Joanne O Meadhra.
As part of National Heritage Week, a free workshop on 19 August (10 am – 1 pm) introduces participants to the art of archaeological illustration. All materials provided; BOOKING REQUIRED via Eventbrite
Both events form part of Déantán Micro Events, celebrating heritage through creative programming.
