Visual Art:
One of the highlights this year will be the unveiling of Michael Durand’s new photographic work specially commissioned by Imagine. The work captures Waterford's relationship with a local hotel The Ard Rí - now in dereliction. He captures beautiful images both of the work today but also its relationship with Waterford people through pictures taken at various functions marking births, deaths, marriages, birthdays, Debs and the occasional concert at the venue.
