To continue our ongoing commitment to support Irish arts and culture, we are delighted to host the sixth year of our annual sculpture exhibition, in association with the prestigious Kildare Gallery.

The Exhibition

A spectacular collection of garden sculptures featuring contemporary designs by leading Irish and international artists. This is the sixth year of the exhibition, in association with the prestigious Kildare Gallery. The Kildare Gallery is Ireland’s leading supplier of outdoor sculpture and garden art, established in 2015 by Ruth Liddle and Ken Folan. The gallery has an annual presence at Ireland’s largest garden festival, Bord Bia Bloom, winning numerous medals to date. We are delighted to welcome The Kildare Gallery back for another year. Focused on the theme of ‘Take Your Imagination on a Journey of Wonder’, this remarkable collection features contemporary works from both renowned and up-and-coming Irish and international sculptors including Dawn Conn, Merce Canadell, Simon Hayes, Petr Holecek, and Valentin Bostan. The Sculpture Exhibition is open daily from 10am.

Ruth Liddle from the Kildare Gallery said, “We are so delighted to be back in Cork showcasing contemporary designs from leading sculptors at The Montenotte Hotel. The elegant Victorian sunken garden is a beautiful backdrop to this unique collection of vibrant artworks by our family of contemporary artists at The Kildare Gallery. The collection is one of imagination and positivity and we are so appreciative that The Montenotte Hotel also shares these attributes. We are so grateful for their continued and real support; this year’s exhibition is entitled Humour, Imagination & Joy”.
