Talk and Tea: Artist Conor O'Leary in Conversation

Join us for a special Talk and Tea with renowned photographer Conor O'Leary, a highly commended winner at the AIB Portrait Prize 2025. 

For this in-conversation event, Conor will be joined by the Gallery's Head of Education - and fellow Wexford native - Sinéad Kathy Rice. Together, they will discuss Conor's artistic practice, with a particular focus on his award-winning piece, The Final Portrait, 2025.

• The talk will take place in the Education studio and will include tea/coffee biscuits and plenty of chat!
• The Education Studio is on level 1 of the Gallery and is fully accessible by lift from the Clare Street Entrance. It is at the same level as the Merrion Square Entrance. Toilets, accessible toilets, baby changing, and a Changing Places facility are located near the Studio and the Education Team are on-hand to support.
• This event is part of our Tuesday Talk and Tea series, an informal discussion about an aspect of the Gallery’s collection or an exhibition. It involves a short illustrated talk followed by a discussion with the audience over a cup of tea (or coffee, of course!).
