The Chicago art scene was buzzing with activity this past weekend at EXPO CHICAGO.
Amazing to meet with and see the artwork of Culture Ireland supported artist Cecilia Danell from Galway who is represented by the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery.

The decision by the U.S. to impose travel restrictions on European citizens and officials is unacceptable and an attempt to challenge our sovereignty.
Europe will keep defending its values — freedom of expression, fair digital rules, and the right to regulate our own space.
We strongly condemn the U.S. decision to impose travel restrictions on five European individuals, including former Commissioner Thierry Breton.

Ireland underscored that reduction and control of small arms & light weapons is a key part of 🌍 peace, reconciliation & development.
Thank you @RepLaHood for your eloquent tribute. As Consul General of Ireland in Chicago, I was honoured to attend the Visitation for Sister Rosemary who was such a stalwart of the Irish community in Chicago and did such great work for people with developmental disabilities.
