Industry leader to collaborate with the Gallery over a three-year period
The National Gallery of Ireland is pleased today, Wednesday, 31 August, to announce a new corporate partnership with Grant Thornton Ireland. Over the next three years, the Gallery will collaborate with the global organisation on a number of exciting exhibitions.
Grant Thornton Ireland will sponsor a series of shows by world-renowned artist J.M.W Turner, beginning with J.M.W Turner: The Sun is God, which opens 8 October 2022. On display in Ireland for the first time, this stunning collection of work includes over 80 paintings from the Tate Gallery’s impressive collection.
Over a three-year period, Grant Thornton Ireland will also provide a vital funding platform for the Gallery’s much loved annual exhibition of Turner’s work which runs during the month of January each year and is a highlight on the cultural calendar.
Displaying the entire national collection of watercolours by Turner, Turner: The Henry Vaughan Bequest opens on 1 January 2023 in the Print Gallery.
National Gallery of Ireland Director, Sean Rainbird said:
“The National Gallery of Ireland is delighted to embark on a brand-new partnership with Grant Thornton Ireland, our key sponsor for the upcoming exhibition J.M.W. Turner: The Sun is God.
