Explore the links between the palette and the plate as Sherkin Island’s artists invite you into their galleries on a tour as part of A Taste of West Cork Festival 2018.
Our guided tour of Sherkin Island – the ‘Island of the Arts’ – will introduce you to the artists whose work is inspired by Sherkin’s dramatic land and seascapes and the shifting palette of colours created by its wild Atlantic light.
Step inside five of the private studios where the island’s artists work and discover the different ways they are inspired by its beauty. When we stop for a relaxed lunch at the tour’s midpoint, we’ll see the island’s creativity take a different form in the wonderful food served at Sherkin’s North Shore against a backdrop of gorgeous sea views.
With an islander as your guide on this unique day tour, you’ll gain inspiring insights into Sherkin’s vibrant art community and connect with the thriving cultural life of West Cork’s islands.
Please wear suitable clothing for the day and allow for changes in the weather. Cost will include your guided tour, ferry, bus transfers and lunch (with a glass of wine!).
