Charity Art Auction in support of Marymount Hospice, Cork
2024-07-06 14:00 - 17:00 | Online
Auction bidding will close on Saturday 6th July at 3pm.
Pink Swim

Nua Collective are excited to present a new collaboration with Marymount Hospice, Cork, creating an opportuntity to raise funds for this incredible organisation. To do this we are auctioning a new work by Nua Collective artist Carol Healy entitled ‘Pink Swim’, a watercolour painting featuring elements of pastel and gold leaf.
‘Pink Swim’ was created during a time when I cared full time for my father who was suffering from a chronic illness. Whenever I could carve out some time for myself, I’d head to the sea, to swim in all weathers, the freezing months of winter to the glorious heat of summer. These swims sustained me through the toughest times seeing my beautiful father going through his final stage of life. The body is an amazing vessel in which we live , the sea felt like a sacred place for my body to be revitalised, to have my cup filled and my inner child could come out to play. ‘Pink Swim’ is about the importance to take care of yourself, have fun, rest, laugh with friends, and bring some colour into your life! So that you can return with your cup overflowing and ready to give again.
The ‘Pink Swim’ with yellow, green and red circles.
Watercolour, pastels and gold leaf on botanical 300gm, 50×70 cm

About Marymount Hospice

Marymount University Hospital & Hospice, ‘Marymount’, provides specialist palliative care services and services to care for dependent older people.
Marymount need to raise €3 million each year through fundraising initiatives in order to sustain their current level of service provision. That means every cent or Euro you donate makes a real difference to them.

The original hospital was built on the north side of the city but the service relocated in 2011 to purpose-built, modern, high-quality facilities in Curraheen, Cork. Marymount is an independent voluntary hospital with University status and is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. As the specialist palliative care service for Cork city and county, Marymount Hospice serves as a centre for coordinating the delivery of palliative care services across all care settings in Cork. It is also closely allied to the specialist palliative care services in Kerry.

Nua Art Auction Initative

Nua Collective are dedicated to supporting and promoting professionally practising artists. We are consistently looking for innovative ways to collaborate with regional charities to amplify a mutual impact on the community. With this in mind, we are initiating collaborations between Nua Collective and local charities to auction original artworks.
We hope this initiative will raise funds and awareness through a mutually beneficial campaign. The funds raised will be split between the charity (51%) and the artist (49%) ensuring that the artist is fairly compensated for their work, while also contributing to the charity. We are excited about these collaborations to not only raise vital funds but also to create a narrative about the intersection of art and positive social engagement.

Across diverse contexts—whether in the shifting patterns of the sky, the migration of people, the application of paint, or the passage of time — there exists a universal experience of scattering. As humans, we find ourselves dispersed by forces both external and internal, whether through geographic relocation, emotional distance, or the natural progression of life.
Yet, within this scattering lies a profound potential for reconnection. Our roots, relationships, and shared histories form intricate networks that, despite physical or emotional distances, continue to bind us together. This process of scattering and reuniting, of shedding the old to embrace the new, reflects the dynamic and resilient nature of the human experience. Whether scattered by choice or circumstance, we carry within us the threads that link us back to our origins, to each other, and to the ever-present possibility of reconnection.

Member Events: The Green Room Exhibitions - John Murray
2025-04-03 18:00 - 21:00 | The Black Box & Green Room Bar, 18-22 Hill Street, Belfast, BT1 2LA, Ireland
Based on images from Soviet newspapers and images, Breaking Up bears witness to a country with a short but tumultuous history.
Using elements of figuration and abstraction, the paintings combine textual and visual elements, predominantly of the later Soviet period, when the threads that held together the fabric of the Union gradually began to loosen until, to everyone’s surprise, the entire vast patchwork of nations and peoples unravelled. Almost overnight a country of some 290 million people with over a hundred ethnic groups and covering more than a sixth of the earth’s landmass was no more.
Artist Bio
Working and living in Dublin, John Murray is a painter who has exhibited throughout the country and internationally and is a member of the Nua Art Collective. Named Irish Print Journalist of the Year for his reporting from Russia with The Sunday Tribune newspaper, John holds a PhD in Russian from Trinity College, Dublin, where he lectures with the Russian Department. For several years he ran a Masters programme in Textual and Visual Studies.

In Sister Hildegard, Lucy Lambe memorialises the 1016 children who died at Sean Ross Abbey Mother and Baby Home between 1931 and 1966.
Buried beneath moss, earth, and rotting vegetation are handwritten names on cotton paper—each one a life lost, each name a quiet act of resistance. A bottle of holy water sits beside a box of soil and memory. Their names matter.
Part of the Perspective exhibition at Spacecraft Studios. Until April 30.
