Interested in 18th-century art? If you can spare a few hours of your time this summer, we are currently looking for exhibition volunteers for our exhibition Exhibiting Art in Georgian Ireland: The Society of Artists' Exhibitions Recreated. The exhibition will be open to the public seven days a week, 10am to 5pm from Saturday 16 June to Sunday 29 July. 

If you are interested in invigilating please fill out the application form. All invigilators who commit to at least one shift a week over the six weeks will receive a copy of the illustrated exhibition catalogue, edited by William Laffan, exhibition curator Dr Ruth Kenny and Dr David Fleming (dependent on availability). All invigilators will receive an invite to the invigilators thank you party (date and venue TBC).
 
There will be a training day for all invigilators, with the exhibition curator Dr Ruth Kenny in early June – details will be sent to applicants in the coming weeks.
