Courthouse Gallery and Studios - Summer Programme 2026

What to Expect

The Courthouse Gallery and Studios is a restored 1790 Georgian courthouse on Parliament Street in Ennistymon that operates as a professional contemporary art gallery and working artists’ studio complex. The gallery presents roughly monthly solo and group exhibitions across its main gallery and the Red Couch Gallery upstairs. The summer programme typically includes a Summer Open exhibition that accepts submissions from artists across Ireland.

Following the ‘Territories’ exhibition by Niamh Clarke (which closes 13 June 2026), the gallery’s programme continues through the summer with new solo and group shows. Specific upcoming exhibitions are announced on the gallery website and social media.
