Fired Up! is an exhibition of contemporary ceramics by 8 Irish and 7 Greek artists.

The exhibition comes to the Courthouse Arts Centre after a highly successful launch at St Carthage’s Cathedral, Lismore.

The project for these exhibitions – bringing together contemporary Greek and Irish ceramicists in a dynamic creative dialogue – was initiated last summer during the fifth edition of the annual Irish festival of Paxos – Irish Wings, 2023: “Irish and Greek Ceramic Art in Paxos” (Old Schoolhouse, Loggos, 14 July – 8 August 2023) curated by Chris Boïcos and Jane Jermyn.

Since 2017 the Irish Wings festival, under the direction of Kathryn Baird, has brought important Irish contemporary musicians, poets, writers and artists to Paxos in events and exhibitions attended every year by an enthusiastic international audience and by the Irish Ambassador to Greece.
