Art at Mount Congreve

The Winter Exhibition has been opened at the new Art Gallery at Mount Congreve Gardens in County Waterford.

The exhibition is part of the ongoing partnership between Mount Congreve Gardens and Artform, aimed at celebrating art in the gardens all year long, and is a showcase of artwork by invited artists Paul Hallahan, Hanneke van Ryswyk, Michael Wann, Bernadette Kiely and Zsolt Basti, alongside a wide range of art carefully selected by guest selector Susan Connolly following an open call.

This 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 programme, Eamon engaged with SETU first year fine art students on their sketching trip to the gardens.
