Located at 3 Great Denmark Street in the Parnell Square Cultural Quarter, the heart of Georgian Dublin, the Olivier Cornet Art Gallery is today one of Ireland's most dynamic contemporary fine art galleries.

We represent accomplished and exciting contemporary Irish artists and other European and international visual art practitioners, working in a variety of media such as paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, fine art prints, digital art and installations.

Our space is situated on the ground floor of a beautiful Georgian building, recently refurbished and once the town residence of The Lord Norbury. It comprises two large rooms: one for temporary art exhibitions, the other a storage area where our visitors can browse through over 250 artworks by our represented and invited artists. All artworks are available for purchase and prices start at 125 Euro for unframed fine art prints for instance. Gift vouchers are available too.

At our independent contemporary Irish art gallery, sometimes referred to as The OCG, we host solo art exhibitions and curate themed group shows known for their quality and originality.

We also organise unique exhibition-related events, in collaboration with other top contemporary arts centres, reputable curators, innovative cultural workers and other leading protagonists of Ireland's rich artistic landscape (such as musicians, poets and storytellers) in Dublin's city centre and beyond: Co. Laois, Limerick, Belfast, Wexford (Galway and Cork next, maybe?).

As a commercial / private art gallery, we promote and sell contemporary fine art but we also take great pride in making sure that all our visitors and clients always enjoy their experience and are given the space and the time to get to know the work of our artists.

Check out the Exhibitions page for more information on our current show and upcoming art exhibitions in 2023.

You'll find our News page quite informative as well with our latest blog posts, articles and tweets.

You can also have a look at our Films page which contains links to a selection of clips, videos and short films featuring our artists, previous art exhibitions, informal panel talks, online presentations and recorded live-streamed events.

Our Links page contains useful and reliable references about the arts in our area (Dublin 1), in the capital city and in Ireland in general.

How about starting a collection of contemporary Irish art? Our artists' works have joined great public and corporate collections, such as the collections of The National Museum of Ireland, The National Gallery of Ireland and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) in Dublin. Visit our page Public & Corporate Art Collections to see a few examples of paintings and of other types of artwork that feature in those prestigious art collections.

In May 2020, in a changed world, we launched a new feature on this website: a 3D Virtual Space for online art exhibitions. The space offers more than a traditional 'viewing room': It allows visitors to take a virtual tour of a show from the comfort of their home when they cannot come to the gallery.

In Febuary 2022, we started adding works to an Online Stockroom where you can see and buy a selection of works from our substantial inventory in our storage area at the gallery. We appreciate any feedback as we build this page.

When you get to know us a bit better, you might even decide to join CAIRDE, our patron's scheme at the gallery.
