 We announce an exciting Open Call to artists to submit work for the new Europa Gallery opening exhibition in Dublin

Europe in the Heart of Ireland 

The Open Call submission portal is now open 


Hamilton Gallery in partnership with the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland cordially invites submissions for Europe in the Heart of Ireland, an exhibition of new art works to launch the Europa Gallery exhibition space at the new European Parliament Liaison Office & European Commission Representation in Ireland in Chatham Street Dublin.

It is intended the exhibition will provide an insightful demonstration of artistic voices, techniques and preoccupations extant across Ireland at the time of the Europa Gallery opening. Accordingly theme / subject matter for submitted works is at the discretion of the artist.

Europe in the Heart of Ireland will take place at The Europa Experience Visitor Centre in October and November and subsequently at Hamilton Gallery Sligo. It is possible the exhibition will be shown as part of the Europe House cultural programme in other national and international venues TBC.


Welcome to Cairde Visual 2024

We are delighted to host Cairde Visual in July for a 3rd consecutive year. Cairde Visual is one of the leading open submission events in the visual arts calendar in Ireland.

We look forward to welcoming all the participating artists and the Cairde Sligo Arts Festival team back to the gallery in July for an event that transforms our gallery space.


We're getting very poetic again this year
