From Chioggia to Clonmel

Selection of contemporary artwork from the historic Venetian coastal town of Chioggia

linn gallery is delighted to announce its upcoming exhibition, Chioggia to Clonmel, featuring a selection of contemporary artwork from the historic Venetian coastal town of Chioggia. Opening on 23rd October and running through to the 7th November 2026. This exhibition presents a cultural collaboration between South Tipperary and the Venetian lagoon.

The origin of this reciprocal exhibition dates back to September 2025, when members of the Clonmel RATS (Random Artists Tipperary South) group travelled to Chioggia for an exhibition. That international exchange was organised by David Anchell of Camida and artist Eugene de Leastar, who has long-standing ties to the area and shares a studio in Chioggia with Italian poet and painter Maurizio de Grandis.

Now, the creative dialogue comes full circle. The cultural heritage of Chioggia is brought to Clonmel, showcasing a body of work by a group of Chioggia-based artists. Visitors to linn gallery can expect a diverse body of work across several genres and styles.

Chioggia to Clonmel is kindly sponsored by CV Financial.

Opening Launch: Friday, 23rd October 2026 at 6:00 PM
