Through the Artist’s Eye

AugustAug 28th – Sept 29th
Blarney Castle & Gardens are delighted to announce that we will be hosting the ‘Through the Artist’s eye’ exhibition which will take place from the 28th of August to the 29th of September in our Stable Yard area located near Blarney Castle.
The ‘Through the Artist’s Eye’ series of exhibitions originated in 2013 when Séamus O’Brien, Head Gardener at the National Botanic Gardens, Kilmacurragh, invited six artists to generate a collection of work that could be referred to in the future, providing an artistic record of the garden at that time. The artists worked in the gardens over two years and in 2015 an exhibition was held at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. From that positive beginning, the idea developed into a moving exhibition, taking place in different notable gardens on the island of Ireland. In the succeeding years, Tourin House and Gardens, Co. Waterford, Burtown House Gardens, Co. Kildare, and Birr Castle Demesne, Co. Offaly have all been seen ‘Through the Artist’s Eye’. This year, the exhibition comes to Blarney Castle Gardens, and botanical artists, fine artists, sculptors and photographers (22 artists in all) have been working in the gardens since early 2023.

The exhibition will take place in our Stable Yard area which is point no.12 on our map.
