Located at 3 Great Denmark Street in the Parnell Square Cultural Quarter, the heart of Georgian Dublin, the Olivier Cornet Art Gallery is one of Ireland's most dynamic modern & contemporary fine art galleries, representing accomplished Irish-based and international visual artists, working in a variety of media such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, fine prints and digital art.
The gallery, sometimes referred to as The OCG, hosts solo exhibitions as well as curated group shows. It also organises various exciting exhibition-related events, in collaboration with diverse cultural workers and practitioners of other art forms, in Dublin's city centre and beyond.
We offer a convivial space where local residents, tourists, casual art lovers and seasoned art collectors alike, can engage with, acquire, or simply view, affordable works of art by contemporary Irish-based and international artists. All of our artists have been chosen for the quality and integrity of their art and practice. We are also one of very few private art galleries in Dublin to be open on both Saturdays and Sundays. The ideal venue in an attractive area for weekend and short-break cultural visitors, as well as regular cinema and theatre goers (we are open till 8pm on Thursdays), without forgetting fans of Irish literature and discerning food enthusiasts. Check out our prestigious neighbours on our Links page. Admission is free to all our exhibitions which always launch on Sunday afternoons to allow people to come with their families.
