The Friends of the County Wexford Art Collection 

The Friends of the County Wexford Art Collection, founded in 2009 by Mairead Furlong, Art Historian and Collector, is a voluntary group passionate about the need to support the County Wexford Art Collection.

Through the Friends, works of artistic significance are secured for The County Wexford Art Collection by means of gift bequest. The Friends can also facilitate the donation of works on behalf of named or anonymous donors or in honour of a named person.
