For 38 years, Sculpture in Context has been a pivotal event in the Irish arts calendar showing ambitious and contemporary three-dimensional work of excellence in a unique space with free access for all.

It has become the largest, longest running and most important dedicated sculpture exhibition in Ireland.

Sculpture in Context 2024 was deferred to allow the organisation time to restructure and secure the funding required to ensure that the Festival event could continue with ambition and scale to reach its annual visitors of 120,000.

Sculpture in Context is committed to exhibiting again in 2025 in the National Botanic Gardens. There are plans also to present a series of fringe events as part of the Festival alongside a diverse and high-quality exhibition of artists’ work.

Sculpture in Context is a not-for-profit organisation run on a pro bono basis by a committee of artists.
