Pictured are Amelia White, James Diana, and Carly Gavin – just three of the eleven transition year students from Dublin who were involved in the curation of Time & Time Again, the Hugh Lane Gallery’s first-ever student-curated art exhibition which has just opened in Dublin.

Time & Time Again is described as a thought-provoking exhibition that explores the themes that define growing up.

The students have chosen works from the gallery’s permanent collection spanning more than 100 years; featured artists include Harry Clarke, Diana Copperwhite, Brian Maguire, Louis le Brocquy, Rita Duffy, George William Russell, Willie Doherty, and Alice Maher.

Over the course of three months, the student group were led by Fulbright Scholar Allison Carey to learn about curatorial practice within the gallery.

Admission to Time & Time Again is free and the exhibition runs until 22 September.
