Hermione Art Exhibition

We are delighted to announce that the Hermione Art Exhibition is returning to Alexandra College from Friday 9 May to Sunday 18 May 2025.

We look forward to the exhibition returning to the College annually, as Alexandra College is the only school in the country which organises a group show of contemporary visual art. The Hermione Exhibition has always been prestigious, featuring artists from leading galleries and awards shows, artist members of the RHA and Aosdána, and exciting recent graduates who have exhibited in previous years. Among the many artists who have consistently shown with us are Donald Teskey, Mary Lohan, Martin Gale, Liam Belton, James Hanley, Michael Cullen, Michael O'Dea, Jane O'Malley, Carey Clarke, Una Sealy and Sahoko Blake.

Exhibition Opening and Lecture - Friday 9 May at 6 pm

The Exhibition will open on Friday 9 May at 6:00 pm, and the Hermione Lecture will take place at 7:30 pm;  we look forward to announcing our guest lecturer in the coming weeks. The Exhibition will be open to the public from Saturday 10th to Sunday 18th May, 10 am - 4 pm. The exhibition catalogue is freely available to members of the public attending the exhibition.

Exhibiting Artists

We are now accepting applications from artists to show work in the exhibition; if you would like to show your work with us, please fill out the form linked below before Friday 4 April.

HERMIONE EXHIBITION APPLICATION

Prior to the Exhibition, we ask that exhibiting artists arrange delivery of their work to the Hermione Reception on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd May from 9 am to 4 pm. Art should arrive wrapped, labelled and ready to hang.

Following the Exhibition, art can be collected on Monday 19th or Tuesday 20th May from 9 am to 4 pm.  Artists should go directly to the Hermione Reception where a member of staff will arrange for collection. Each piece must be signed out by the collector. When collecting art, it is the artist's responsibility to take it down from its hanging position. Wrapping materials will be provided if you would like to wrap it yourself.

It’s important that you collect your work during the time specified, as after this, it cannot be stored in the College. The College will not cover any costs incurred, or co-ordinate, collecting or returning any work.

If you have any questions, please contact us at hermione@alexandracollege.ie. We look forward to hearing from you, and welcome your participation in this great contemporary art group show.
