Accenture and the academic institutions jointly commission Irish-based artists to paint the portraits of their selected living and deceased female trailblazers. This curatorial commissioning process is managed by Business to Arts, whose expertise has supported Accenture, the institutions, and a range of leading and emerging Irish-based artists to deliver these incredible portraits since the initiative's inception.
Once the featured subjects for this year have been selected and researched by UCC, their stories form part of the commission brief for artworks. Keep an eye out later in the year for the announcement of an open call for artists to be selected to make original artworks that will become part of the UCC Art Collection.
