Cork Arts Society was established in 1963 and is now known as Lavit Gallery. This is a not for profit arts organisation and registered charity, dedicated to promoting an appreciation of art in Cork City through the provision of a gallery space, in which artists can exhibit their artwork for public patronage.
Lavit Gallery also serves the art community and the public in Cork City through its non commercial activities including artist talks, exhibition tours and the provision of two graduate awards given annually to students at MTU Crawford College of Art and Design.
As well as maintaining a stock room for fine art, craft and retail items, Lavit Gallery programmes ten exhibitions per year. Annual fixtures include, the Student of the Year Award, Graduate Group Exhibition, Annual Members Exhibition, Summer Exhibition, Winter Exhibition and a show by Cork Printmakers or Backwater Artist Group on an alternating basis.
