According To My Eyes, A Solo Exhibition by Siobhán Collins  

16:00 - 22:00 | Pause Gallery, Ground Floor 

‘According to my Eyes’ is a solo exhibition by Siobhán Collins at MTU Cork School of Music. In this new body of work, paintings of familiar subjects hover between recognition and uncertainty, inviting viewers to linger and look again. The works draw attention to the physical act of painting as much as to what is represented.  

Meet The Artist: 18:00 – 20:00 

The artist will be present at the exhibition during Culture Night from 6-8pm.This is an opportunity to see the paintings and have a conversation about the work. The show is open daily, including weekends, up to 22 September 2026. All welcome.
