The exhibition, which will formally open on Friday, November 29, is part of the ongoing partnership between Mount Congreve Gardens and Artform
The opening date has been confirmed for the upcoming Winter Exhibition at the new Art Gallery at Mount Congreve Gardens in County Waterford.
The exhibition, which will formally open on Friday, November 29, is part of the ongoing partnership between Mount Congreve Gardens and Artform which is aimed at celebrating art in the gardens all year long.
It is a showcase of artwork by invited artists including Paul Hallahan, Hanneke van Ryswyk, Michael Wann, Bernadette Kiely and Zsolt Basti. The exhibition will also feature a wide range of art carefully selected by guest selector Susan Connolly following an open call in October 2024.

This beautiful new exhibition 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.
During the opening evening next Friday, five awards will be announced to artists shortlisted from the previous Art in the Gardens exhibition Bucolica.
“The Winter Exhibition rounds out our 2024 Art in the Gardens program, where we have been able to bring the public into contact with an impressive array of art, in the stunning setting of Mount Congreve Gardens. This show presents a great opportunity to rejuvenate the senses, be inspired and for some to acquire a unique piece of art for themselves or a loved one,” commented Martina O’Byrne of Artform..
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 and the unique artworks are all available for sale.
The exhibition opening event will take place from 6pm to 8pm on November 29, with festive mulled wine and mince pies and members of the public are welcome to attend.
