Arts: County Council Collection

County Council Collection

Mayo County Council has been collecting art for many years and has now acquired a substantial collection of almost 200 works. The County Council augments its art collection with new acquisitions on an annual basis, which includes paintings, prints, photography, sculpture and mixed-media works, by artists from or living in Mayo, or those who have exhibited in the county. Works are displayed on a permanent basis in publicly accessible space in county council buildings around the county. Parts of the collection are also exhibited in New Acquisition Exhibitions and there is also a Schools Exhibition programme.
