Exhibitions at the Olivier Cornet Gallery, Dublin

Like any other reputable contemporary art gallery, the Olivier Cornet Gallery organises and hosts solo shows featuring work by the artists we represent. We also curate thematic group exhibitions showcasing the work of these artists as well as members of our AGA group. Have a look below to find out about our current art show and investigate upcoming and recent art exhibitions. This page also allows you to delve into our exhibition archives.


Unless specified otherwise, all solo and group exhibitions take place in our gallery space at 3 Great Denmark Street, Dublin.


Please note that since May 2020, most of our solo and group exhibitions have also been available online, and on a permanent basis, in our 3D Virtual Space. If you have missed an exhibition at the gallery or would like to revisit a previous show and see, for instance, which artworks are still available for purchase, feel free to explore this new viewing feature.
