The Great Arts Quiz 2020

A particularly bleak (for obvious reasons) January was cheered up by the Niagara-like flood of envelopes through my letterbox with your Great Arts Quiz answers. It is by now a noble tradition that uncovering the artists’ identities mars otherwise perfect entries. Shane Dunphy was mistaken for Colum McCann, Niamh Walsh transformed into Anya Taylor-Joy and Harry Lawtey was confused with, among others, Paul Mescal and Josh Dylan.

The first all-correct entry I opened came from Mike Quaid in Co Clare and he wins a wonderful break for two at the glamorous Radisson Blu Royal in Dublin. This includes treatments in its stunning new medi-spa Velvaere as well as two nights’ accommodation and dinner in the newly opened Chancery Grill restaurant.

Congratulations to Mike and well done to all those who entered.
