A significant factor in LSAD’s success story is the student-oriented philosophy. Incoming
students of first year Art and Design (LC110) share a common first year which allows them to
experience different areas in fine art and design which informs their final selection of a
discipline.
Today, LSAD offers an attractive option to students of fine art and design. Its significant
history and dynamic reputation make it an appealing choice for students. Graduates include
artists John Shinnors, Jack Donovan, Donald Teskey and Nevan LeHart and designers Joanne
Hynes, Una Burke, Richard Seabrooke and Karen Morgan. The long history of student success
in national and international art and design competitions shows the high creative standards of
the student body. These competitions include the Triumph International Awards, Persil Fashion
Awards, Gillette Venue Awards, the Golden Egg Awards, the AIB Fashion Bursary and the
Institute of Designers in Ireland Graduate Design Awards. Students have also worked on a
number of outstanding fine art public commissions with partners in Limerick Civic Trust, City
of Culture and the Emergency Services.
Please feel free to drop in and view the LSAD Gallery, which frequently hosts exhibitions of art
and design. More formal tours can be arranged by appointment.
