The Olivier Cornet Gallery is absolutely delighted to share the news that our group show ‘What do we want?’ has made it onto this list of 10 art exhibitions that stood out in 2024 in Ireland. As our followers and supporters have observed, our inclusion in this list is particularly noteworthy as we are the sole commercial gallery among these well-established public institutions and museums. This recognition highlights our gallery's significant contribution to the Irish art scene in 2024, showcasing our ability to present exhibitions of high caliber and cultural importance alongside major public art spaces.
