Enlargement! is a continuously changing exhibition, displaying the artistic qualities of the new states of the expanded EU.
Part of Cork Civic Trust's contribution to Cork 2005 and hosted by the Cork Vision Centre at St Peter's, this project presents a year long programme of creative work that promotes cultural diversity within Europe and encourages new networks of artists and organisations.
The focus is on visual art, a key medium of embodied truth and a recurring source of every nation's creative pride. In 2005, Cork becomes the fulcrum around which the creative new nations of Europe rotate. The Cork Vision Centre at St Peter's becomes a kind of sitting room for Europe through this action in 2005.
We look forward to meeting you at Enlargement!
Founded in 1990, Cork Civic Trust is a not-for-profit voluntary organisation that draws its support from Cork City Council and the private sector. The aims of the Trust are to preserve and enhance the civic and architectural heritage of Cork, to raise public awareness of heritage issues and to encourage cultural and urban tourism through its management of the Cork Vision Centre at St Peter's. | | |

Civic Trust Yearbook Brings Ambassadors to Cork
Cork 23rd February 2006: 2005 will be seen as a watershed for Cork; one which has led to a quickening of the city’s commercial and cultural pulse, most noticeably in the rate of physical change that has occurred and continues to occur within the city. This sense of movement; of making and doing was best exemplified through Enlargement! – bringing the ‘new’ Europe to Cork; through its month on month exhibitions; gatherings and performances.
Cork Civic Trust is proud to have consistently delivered such a logistically complex project over the course of 2005. The publication of the Enlargement! Yearbook represents an attempt to capture a flavour of the project and of the artists involved. It is a pictorial record of the widespread support engendered by the project across the civic, cultural and commercial sectors of our city.
During 2005, the Cork Vision Centre became a kind of home-from-home for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Government Ministers, Ambassadors, Diplomatic and Ministerial Officials from all the participating countries. Enlargement! swivelled the diplomatic focus onto Cork while simultaneously enabling the building of long term relationships with the diplomatic, artistic and governmental representatives of our ‘new’ member States. The strength of this relationship is reflected in the anticipated attendance of Ambassadors of six of the participating States.
Enlargement! appealed across a range of sectors; from the obvious realms of arts and culture to the political and business sectors. It also generated a broad general interest that, over the course of 2005, attracted 75,000 visitors through the doors of the Cork Vision Centre. The Enlargement Yearbook is a celebration of this audience, who took all the different aspects, shapes and forms of such a varied palate of styles and subject matter to it heart, and turned the Cork Vision Centre into a place of colour and vibrant life.
