Cork Heritage Open Day is a wonderful celebration of Cork’s built heritage. In its 21st year, Cork Heritage Open Day provides the exciting opportunity to meet some artists, & see where they work within this unique artists’ work place. National Sculpture Factory (NSF) was set up 37 years ago & is a thriving artists’ resource for many creative projects. An important facility locally, nationally & internationally, NSF is a strategically funded resource for artists, with the Arts Council of Ireland and Cork City Council as primary funders. NSF building, which used to house the trams of Cork City, is a beautiful red brick heritage building which enables large scale sculpture to be fabricated – what the citizen sees in the public realm of scale and ambition can be made in NSF under the high roof of the former tram warehouse. The legacy of Cork’s built heritage continues to be enjoyed and critical for creating Cork’s cultural heritage. National Sculpture Factory are delighted to invite you to visit NSF facilities and meet its artists. See how the art works you know comes into being and learn more about the creative process directly from the source. Guided Tours of the National Sculpture Factory will take place every hour starting at 12pm through 3pm (last tour 3pm). No booking required.
