8pm – 10pm: Greyfriars Art Gallery will host Ireland’s 2nd ever “Scratch Art” event when four of Waterford’s up-and-coming visual artists will take turns to talk about their work – displayed on easels in the centre of the gallery – before taking questions from the audience (you!) on the night. And of course if any artwork takes your fancy it may be purchased on the spot. This years Scratch Art event artists are: Brenda Carroll, Eoin Coffey, Tony Hayes, and Jessica Terry. Last years inaugural Scratch Art event was a big success with a number of works sold.
