Maples and Calder becomes first law firm to partner with National Gallery of Ireland

Maples and Calder has announced a new first-of-its-kind corporate partnership with the National Gallery of Ireland through which will support the newly-branded Creative Space in the Gallery’s atrium.

The Maples and Calder Creative Space offers visitors a valuable opportunity to be creative in the heart of the gallery. The law firm’s support will enable the Gallery to improve and enhance the space.

Sean Rainbird, director of the National Gallery of Ireland, visited the Creative Space with Nicholas Butcher, managing partner at Maples and Calder, to launch the partnership.

Mr Butcher said: “Maples and Calder is delighted to announce our corporate partnership with the National Gallery of Ireland.

“Supporting this world class cultural institution underscores our commitment to investing in and connecting with our community.

“We are particularly pleased to support the Gallery’s Creative Corner, an area open to all, where families can come to enjoy the wonderful space the Gallery offers, encouraging young minds to explore and stretch their creative potential.”

Mr Rainbird added: “We are delighted that Maples and Calder has signed up as a premier corporate partner of the National Gallery of Ireland for three years.

“We are building our corporate partnership programme to assist in the longer-term development of our programmes.

“Maples and Calder has become the first legal firm to join us as partners. Their great support means that we can invest more widely in our programmes to engage and inspire people of all ages in our national collection of art and visiting exhibitions.”
