23 April 2007 Grafton Leads Washington Celebration of Ulster Artists
Grafton Recruitment joined academics, policy makers and Washington’s cultural elite yesterday at the opening of the Northern Ireland visual arts exhibition. In conjunction with Rediscover Northern Ireland, 41 Ulster artists are showcasing their work at American University’s Katzen Centre.
The exhibition was launched at a major reception on Sunday, 22 April and will be showing until 29 July 2007.
The Katzen Arts Centre is a multi-million dollar arts facility endowed by Dr. Cyrus Katzen, a leading property developer in Washington, DC.
Ken Belshaw, Managing Director of the Grafton Recruitment, the exhibition’s sponsor, stated, “It is a privilege to be associated with the exhibition and indeed the whole Rediscover Northern Ireland project. I have long been an advocate of Northern Ireland, making its presence felt on a global stage. This is an extremely positive message, and should be supported wholeheartedly over the next few months.
