"Passing by coincidentally on our way to the Writers' Museum, my partner and myself were stopped by the poster of the Claire Halpin exposition. So we entered the gallery and did not leave it before two hours later. Not only the actual show - which is impressive and touching - and not only the extremely interesting collection which is displayed in such an intimate and as well professional way kept us so long, but also an intense and multifaceted talk with Olivier which could have continued over additional topics and time. This place for us is a revelation and a new hotspot".

Presentation of our gallery and website:
Which Dublin-based contemporary art galleries should you visit?
The Olivier Cornet Art Gallery is today one of Ireland's most dynamic contemporary art galleries.
Located at 3 Great Denmark Street in the Parnell Square Cultural Quarter, the heart of Georgian Dublin, our art gallery represents accomplished and exciting contemporary Irish artists and other European and international visual art practitioners, working in a variety of media such as paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, fine art prints, digital art and installations.
SUPPORT IRISH VISUAL ART IN A CULTURAL CONTEXT
When you get to know us a bit better, you might even decide to join CAIRDE, our patron's scheme at the gallery.
We look forward to your visit; our friendly art gallery is located in what we believe is the best area of Dublin 1: the world-famous Gate Theatre, the Dublin Writers Museum, the iconic James Joyce Centre, and, of course, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane (always worth a visit, especially the must-see reconstructed studio of painter Francis Bacon).
All these institutions of outstanding reputation are just a stone's throw away from us in the Irish capital's city centre. Other renowned and well established organisations in this premier cultural assemble of Northside Dublin include Poetry Ireland, the remarkable Irish Writers Centre and the much respected Fighting Words. Also, we are only 5 minutes away from Henry Street, one of Dublin's main shopping districts.
Admission to the gallery and to its visual art exhibitions is always free. Unlike most other commercial art galleries / private art dealers in Dublin, we usually launch our art exhibitions on Sundays so that you can bring your family too.
Check out our Privacy Statement page and find out how to join our email list if you would like to attend our exhibition previews and other special art-related events at the gallery. You can opt out at any point. In any case, we look forward to your visit.
Last but not least, you can also follow our art gallery and the work of our contemporary artists on the main social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter & TikTok.
"Olivier Cornet Gallery has consistently curated exhibitions of quality and interest and also collaborates across disciplines. It is always a pleasure to attend openings there given the quality and range of the opening speakers. As a participant in VUE, the Olivier Cornet gallery has been praised for its focused yet broad ranging collaborations and thematic explorations. The gallery itself presents a fantastic airy and refreshing space - and the people - personable and knowledgeable." Architect and artist Colin Eaton (commenting on the gallery in the Reviews section of our Google My Business page).
"Before you click that ‘buy’ button on one of those online websites that sell art, go visit and support your local art galleries and experience what can happen. You may just be surprised at what you see, whom you meet, and what you will learn."
