Cork Art History (1876-1900) |
 | | On March 24th 1876, a committee was appointed at a public meeting held in the Royal Cork Institution, to seek to establish Schools of Science, Art and Music in Cork. |
 | | The Privy Council was in a position to grant-aid local initiatives in art and science education, and, in addition, the amending of the Public Libraries Art in 1855 also enabled towns and cities to raise money from their own rate-payers for the support of schools of science, art, museums and public libraries. |
 | | Again the school has no art gallery, in which to exhibit the work of the pupils, or loan collection of pictures, and other works of art, and in which the nucleus of a permanent art collection might be gradually gathered. |
