THERE WILL BE NO SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT EXHIBITION IN 2024
Unfortunately, the Sculpture in Context exhibition has been cancelled for 2024. The announcement was made on their official website: https://sculptureincontext.ie/home/
This is unexpected news as it has been a pivotal event in the Irish arts calendar for almost 40 years, being the longest-running and most significant sculpture exhibition in the country. It was held annually at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin.
While the exact reasons for the cancellation haven't been detailed publicly, the organisation is run on a pro bono basis by a small committee of practicing artists, and the exhibition has grown significantly in scale over the last decade. It's possible that the resources required to maintain the exhibition at its current size have become unsustainable.
This is undoubtedly a loss for the Irish arts community, both for the artists who would have exhibited and for the public who enjoyed the unique experience of viewing sculpture within the beautiful setting of the Botanic Gardens.
