MFA Fine Art - Panel Discussion, ‘Such Fine Crossing: Fine Art Futures’ with panellists Jesse Jones, Clíodhna Ní Anluain, and Dr. Margarita Cappock, moderated by Brendan Fox. Event Location: Rua Red South Dublin Arts Centre, Tallaght, D24 KV8N.

Presented as part of ‘Such Fine Crossings: Fine Art Futures’, this public panel discussion marks the 2026 graduating cohort of the practice-led MFA in Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design.

The graduating artists’ work is presented across a wide range of media, including stained glass, print, sculpture, painting, media, and mixed media, and engages with themes such as ecology, gender and sexuality, embodiment, consciousness, aesthetics, relationality, and neurodiversity.

Responding directly to the exhibition, the graduating artists’ work will offer points of departure for the panel discussion on the future, for both emerging artists and for Fine Art graduates. With panellists Jesse Jones (artist and member of Aosdána), Clíodhna Ní Anluain (RTE Arts and Culture producer, editor and writer) and Dr. Margarita Cappock (art historian and curator). Moderated by Brendan Fox (independent curator, writer, educator and artist).

Venue: Rua Red South Dublin Arts Centre, Tallaght, Dublin 24, D24 KV8N

Admission free.
