BE OPEN Art’s Art Limitless programme names Irish mixed-media artist Éabha Róis @eabharoisart as its September 2026 monthly winner. Based in County Waterford, Róis combines painting with reclaimed and found materials to create tactile works inspired by Irish folklore, landscapes, memory, mythology, and the natural world.
Throughout 2026, BE OPEN continues to highlight artists whose work reflects sustainable approaches to artistic practice. Each month, a winning artist is selected and featured in the online gallery, and at the end of the year, three artists will be chosen from the monthly winners by members of the BE OPEN community to receive monetary awards and increased international visibility from the BE OPEN Foundation.
