A huge congratulations to Arts and Disability Connect Training Awardee Cecilia Bullo, whose work ‘Being Haunted by the Breezes, Now How Will You Exist?’ has been acquired for the Arts Council Collection.

The Arts Council Collection dates back to 1962 and now comprises almost 1,400 works of art. Works from the Collection can be seen in public buildings, galleries and museums across Ireland and internationally. Works are acquired following a rigorous process, with the final decisions made by the Collection Acquisitions Committee, made up of Council members, independent artists and curators. In the most recent round of acquisitions, works by 24 artists were added to the Arts Council Collection.

Cecilia Bullo received an Arts and Disability Connect Training Award in 2020, and her recent work includes Rhizomatic at Endlessnessnessness at the LAB Gallery. In 2023, she exhibited ‘Being Haunted by the Breezes, Now How Will You Grow?’ at the Royal Hibernian Academy.
