The 2023 event, hosted at the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, Dublin, was a major success. It was the longest-running, largest, and most important sculpture exhibition in the country, showcasing the work of over 140 established and emerging artists. The exhibition ran from September 7 to October 13, 2023, and was free to the public. It featured a diverse range of contemporary sculptures, from monumental stone works to intricate ceramic pieces, displayed both outdoors throughout the 50 acres of gardens and indoors in the glasshouses and gallery. The event also included a program of lectures and guided tours.
