Dublin Gallery Weekend 2023 | CAGA

As a member of the Contemporary Art Gallery Association (CAGA), the Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to announce the inaugural edition of Dublin Gallery Weekend!

Dublin Gallery Weekend is set to be a new landmark event for contemporary art in the capital and an invitation to discover Dublin’s contemporary art scene. Involving the 10 member galleries of the Contemporary Art Gallery Association, and taking place from Friday 10th to Sunday 12th November 2023, this free three-day annual event celebrates Dublin’s contemporary art sector, showcasing the vibrancy of the capital’s commercial galleries through exhibitions and specially programmed events.

The inaugural edition of Dublin Gallery Weekend will include a programme of free to attend artist talks, performances, guided tours, late openings, demonstrations, panel discussions, family events, and social events. We invite everyone, members of the public, art enthusiasts and newcomers alike to visit, meet artists and learn more about art by embarking on a journey through Dublin’s best known art galleries. Stay tuned for our full programme launch later this month.

Dublin Gallery Weekend is organised by the Contemporary Art Gallery Association and is funded with support from the Arts Council of Ireland and IPUT.  The press release is accessible here.
