The exhibition opens this Thursday at 6pm when the gallery, which is located on the first floor of the Dunnes Stores building in Kieran Street, will be transformed into a vibrant space celebrating all things culinary.
This unique and contemporary exhibition brings together local and national artists exploring the beautiful, textural world of food.
