This March, the Blackbird Gallery presented a showing of new works by acclaimed Kilkenny artists Richard Coghlan and Alan Raggett.

Over the last number of years, both artists have been extensively involved with Endangered Studios, a Kilkenny County Countil Arts office initiative that facilitated the coming together of a group of artists in the rust of an abandoned builders providers premises. The group subsequently achieved success and critical acclaim with exhibitions during the Kilkenny Arts Festivals of 2004 and 2006.

This new exhibition of work brought together the fruits of six months of intensive work and exploration for both artists.
