#ARK25 Limited Edition Signed Print: 'Like The Sun Coming Out' by Fuchsia MacAree
To help us celebrate our 25th birthday and raise much needed funds for our #ARK25 Opportunities Fund, artist Fuchsia MacAree has created a special limited edition print of a new artwork, 'Like The Sun Coming Out', which is available to purchase now.
Depicting the post-zoo giddiness of the Phoenix Park Bandstand on a winter's day, Like The Sun Coming Out was commissioned for our upcoming Winter Light exhibition, and has been designed especially with children in mind. The piece is inspired by trips to the park and the rare and precious glimpses of sunlight we get during the colder time of year. The original work was designed digitally, then hand-painted with certain sections in light-sensitive photochromic paint. When the sun hits the painting, the image slowly changes, turning from a cold and grey day into a sunny one!
Now, we have made just 25 prints of this sunny artwork, with each limited edition print individually and lovingly signed by the artist, Fuchsia McAree. Like The Sun Coming Out will make a perfect addition to any room where you'd like to add a hint of colour and joy, or a beautiful gift for a loved one!
When you purchase one of these special limited edition prints, all profits will be used to support our #ARK25 Opportunities Fund, helping us reach even more children from all backgrounds whose access to arts and culture has become even more limited by Covid-19 restrictions. By supporting #ARK25, you enable our vision of a society where all children have an equal right to a playful, happy and imaginative childhood. Each print purchased will help ensure every child's right to art and culture in 2021 and beyond.
We are so thankful to Fuchsia MacAree for supporting #ARK25 with this gorgeous print. Be sure to come along to Winter Light in the New Year to see the original work in person or check out our virtual video tour of the exhibition coming soon...
