Summer Gathering opens July 25th and EU Presidency Launch

Our inaugural Summer Gathering Invited Artists Exhibition opens on July Saturday 25th 2025 at 3pm.

We are delighted that a long standing friend of the Gallery, Rhona McGrath, the current Arts Officer with Roscommon County Council will open the exhibition.

For over 13 years the Hamilton Gallery’s Winter Gathering season has been one of our programme highlights. Summer Gathering will build on the appeal of that seasonal invited artist format.

The exhibiting artists are Fiona Carswell, Orla de Brí, Seamus Gill, Jane Murtagh, and Sorca O’Farrell.

Carrying The Songs 
Irish EU Presidency Launch | The Hague | July 7th 2026 

Ireland's Ambassador to The Netherlands Dr Ann Derwin hosted the opening event of the Irish Presidency of The Council of the European Union at Pulchri Studio, The Hague.

The EU Presidency launch coincided with 'Carrying The Songs', an exhibition of 288 art works by Irish and Dutch artists, themed on the poetry of Moya Cannon, developed as a collaboration between the Embassy, Hamilton Gallery and Pulchri Studio. It followed the launch of the exhibition three days earlier on July 4th.

We’re delighted to include the photo essay by Studio Dijkgraaf of this very special day for over 200 artists who took part in this project.
