With a large entry of over 230 proposals, the committee was delighted with the huge range of sculpture submitted; the standard of this year’s exhibition will be very high. Entries have been received, from established and up-and-coming artists who submit work to participate in one of the most prestigious outdoor open exhibitions in Dublin. Each year a different panel of selectors is invited to adjudicate this open exhibition, resulting in an exciting mix of mediums and styles. Once the work has been selected a huge amount of effort is put into locating it in the various environments of the gardens. Sculpture in Context continues to build on 26 years of experience in organising successful exhibitions. It has, over the years staged highly acclaimed visual arts events at venues such as Fernhill Gardens, the Conrad Hotel, Kilmainham Gaol, the Irish Management Institute, Dublin Castle, Farmleigh House and the National Botanic Gardens. The gardens are not only a botanical haven, and a quiet oasis on the outskirts of a modern European City, they also provide a challenging venue which gives the artist the rare opportunity of realising large scale work. It also gives the public the opportunity to ramble and explore, sometimes finding sculptures in the most unusual places. The sculptures will be displayed throughout the gardens, ponds, Great Palm House, and Curvilinear Range, with the smaller works exhibited in the gallery above the visitors’ centre.  Sculpture in Context offers an unparalleled opportunity to view Ireland’s well established and most promising future artists.
