New winter exhibition officially opens at Waterford's Mount Congreve Gardens

The Winter Exhibition has been officially opened at the new Art Gallery at Mount Congreve Gardens in County Waterford.

The exhibition is part of the ongoing partnership between Mount Congreve Gardens and Artform aimed at celebrating art in the gardens all year long and it is a showcase of artwork by invited artists including Paul Hallahan, Hanneke van Ryswyk, Michael Wann, Bernadette Kiely and Zsolt Basti.

The invited artists' work is displayed alongside a wide range of art carefully selected by guest selector Susan Connolly following an open call.

The free exhibition, which continues until the end of February 2025, also includes artwork by artist Eamon Colman, the Artform artist in residence at Mount Congreve Gardens.

Eamon has been visiting the gardens for the last six months and creating a series of abstract coloured studies called 'Moments', based on the changing seasons in the gardens.

As part of the residency outreach program, Eamon engaged with SETU 1st year fine art students, on their sketching trip to the gardens. 

The Winter exhibition provides a perfect opportunity to purchase an original piece of art for a loved one this Christmas while supporting living Irish artists and the gardens at Mount Congreve.
