ArtBox is a contemporary art gallery based in Dublin city centre. The exhibitions programme will see a multi-stranded approach, allowing for several points of engagement across disciplines. The gallery will function as an incubation-space to analyse levels of engagement and possible cross-over points between contemporary art and courses currently available in Universities. Each exhibition also creates large scope for student engagement and the linking together of arts practitioners with MA/PhD students from a range of disciplines. This will be illustrated through the core gallery programme, as well as special events and performances taking place throughout the city for ArtBox projects. ArtBox is a not for profit arts initiative supported by Dublin City Council’s Vacant Spaces Scheme. ArtBox is funded by Dublin City Council.

Gallery Information
Now in its 13th season, the Catherine Hammond Gallery is proud of its association with some of Ireland’s most outstanding established and emerging artists. It is arguably the preeminent contemporary art gallery in Munster, a good indicator of how important West Cork is as a cultural destination. It was founded in 2003 by Catherine Hammond after working for more than 20 years with major U.S. cultural organizations, including the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, the MacArthur Foundation, Chicago, and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
The gallery is in the heart of Skibbereen, often considered the capital of West Cork. Other cultural attractions include Uillinn – the West Cork Arts Centre, the Skibbereen Heritage Centre, other art galleries, a great rare bookshop, craft shops and an art auctioneer. There are several places to eat just next door to the gallery including the Good Things restaurant, the Church café and Annie May’s pub. In Skibbereen, one can easily spend several hours rich in art and good food!
Skibbereen is an ideal base from which to explore the southwest tip of West Cork: Baltimore, Mizen Head, Sheep’s Head, Ballydehob, Castletownsend, Glandore, Union Hall are all within a short drive. Great beaches, Lough Hyne Marine Reserve, and Sherkin and Cape Clear islands are easily accessible.

The Green On Red Gallery is one of Ireland’s most dynamic and exciting galleries. We represent some of the best contemporary work on the market, both Irish and international. The programme is based on 10-11 solo exhibitions and 1-2 group or thematic exhibitions per year. Green On Red participates annually in international art fairs and the gallery’s artists regularly exhibit abroad in both private and public venues.
Gormleys Fine Art is one of Ireland’s leading art galleries specialising in contemporary painting and sculpture. Founded in 1990 Gormleys have galleries in Dublin, Belfast and Omagh, representing a number of established and emerging Irish artists.
In addition to our gallery exhibition programmes, Gormleys regularly exhibit in London and at various international and national art fairs. We are dedicated to promoting Irish art and committed to the long term development of each of our artists.
Gormleys is also one of Ireland's primary sculpture dealers and represent a number of leading Irish sculptors. All of our galleries display a significant collection of sculpture and we regularly organise major garden sculpture exhibitions throughout Ireland.
Founded by gallery director John Daly in 1995, Hillsboro Fine Art is widely recognized as Ireland’s leading 20th-century and contemporary gallery and has now established a significant reputation around the world.
Though Hillsboro Fine Art continues to expand and develop its international links, its principal focus is on promoting the highly acclaimed artists it works with on an ongoing basis: Patrick Hall, John Hoyland, Patrick Graham, Michael Warren, Gary Komarin, Tjibbe Hooghiemstra, Robert Natkin, Claude Viallat, John Noel Smith, Gwen O’Dowd, Eddie Kennedy, John Gibbons, Michael Canning, Eamon Colman, David Crone, Paddy McCann, Fiona Dowling and Jonathan Hunter.
In addition to our regular exhibitions, the gallery inventory always includes a comprehensive selection of paintings, sculpture and drawings by Irish and international artists. The gallery also sources, purchases and sells works of art on behalf of clients worldwide and acts as art consultant to our many public and private clients’ collections.
The Olivier Cornet Gallery opened its doors at 1 The Wooden Building in Temple Bar on January 2012 when the independent curator, fine art consultant and artists' agent French-born Olivier Cornet decided to go for a more permanent space (having organised and curated exhibitions of Irish-based visual art in various locations under the name Olliart since 2004).
In May 2013, I was on the move again working in spaces as diverse and versatile as Filmbase or Smock Alley Theatre for instance, while still on the lookout for a base to operate from.
In January 2014, I found a new base at 5 Cavendish Row (at the start of Parnell Square, just opposite the Gate Theatre). We would have loved to stay but with the sale of the building, we had to find new premises. And we did! The gallery is now located at 3 Great Denmark Street, just opposite Belvedere Hotel. We are so pleased to have been able to stay in the area.
I continue to organise contemporary art exhibitions in various venues in Dublin and other locations in Ireland but having a 80 square metre gallery and office in the city centre means that you can come and see works by the gallery's artists in a more private environment and in the heart of the newly designated Parnell Square Cultural Quarter. This area, located at the top of O'Connell Street, is home to Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, The Dublin Writers Museum, The Irish Writers' Centre, The James Joyce Centre, and of course the O'Reilly Theatre at Belvedere College, our next door neighbour.
Solomon Fine Art was established in 1981 by Suzanne Macdougald and for many years was located in Powerscourt Town House in Dublin. In 2011 the gallery moved to its current premises in Balfe Street, situated next door to the Westbury Hotel just off Grafton Street in the heart of Dublin’s premier cultural & shopping quarter. In 2013, following Suzanne Macdougald's retirement, the gallery director Tara Murphy took over the gallery on an independent basis.
In January 2015, in conjunction with the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland (DCCoI), Irish Design 2015 (ID2015) and The Doyle Collection, we launched our second gallery PORTFOLIO @ Solomon, a dedicated design & craft gallery to coincide with the ID2015 programme. The new 60sqm gallery space is located at the main entrance to The Westbury Hotel and Westbury Mall on Balfe Street, just a few steps from the main gallery.
Now considered one of Ireland’s leading contemporary art galleries, the Solomon has built its reputation on representing Irish and international artists working primarily in a figurative style. The Solomon also specialises in sculpture and regularly mounts major off-site outdoor exhibitions in locations as diverse as the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin and the Village at Lyons in Kildare.
Stoney Road Press is a fine art print studio which since 2001 has been collaborating with Ireland's leading contemporary artists to produce limited edition hand-made prints, books, sculptures and tapestries.
Based in Dublin, Stoney Road Press is the only independent commercially run fine art print studio in Ireland. It is also the only Irish member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association, a body committed to promoting the highest standards of quality, connoisseurship and appreciation of fine art prints. Combining traditional printing techniques with innovative digital technology, the studio is transformed for each different collaboration, producing a body of work which reflects the individual skill of each artist. In recent years the portfolio has expanded to include new work with international artists.
Taylor Galleries is a gallery based in Dublin that shows a selection of contemporary and 20th century Irish painting, sculpture, print and works on paper. Throughout the year Taylor Galleries mounts a series of solo exhibitions by gallery artists and two large group shows, one in August and one over the Christmas period. The gallery’s exhibition space is situated over two floors of a Georgian house which dates from 1759.
Taylor Galleries was founded by John Taylor in 1978 and a number of gallery artists were inherited from Leo Smith’s Dawson Gallery. The Dawson Gallery was established by Smith in 1944 at 4 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 following his departure from the Victor Waddington Gallery.
