In Autumn 2026 Lavit Gallery continues its new group exhibition format focusing on a selection of new work by artists working across the Island of Ireland. Lavit Gallery is very loyal to its Cork artists but having a national reach is also important so that we can continue to stimulate and inspire our audience and customers with a variety of talent. \; \; \;
\nThe artists participating in the 2026 edition of New Irish Art are Collin Crotty\, Ró\;isí\;n de Buitlé\;ar\, Stephen Doyle\, Gabhann Dunne\, Vanessa Jones\, Vera Klute RHA\, Michael Quane RHA\, Michael Kobuladze\, Ailbhe Ní\; Bhriain\, Bennie Reilly\, John O&rsquo\;Reilly and Charles Tyrrell. Curated by Brian Mac Domhnaill. \;
\nNot all the featured artists are based in their native counties or even their country of origin and that is another important part this exhibition model. The &lsquo\;new Irish&rsquo\; part of the title also refers to the ideal of a less parochial and more fluid and multi-cultural Irish society that extends to our national identity. In a commercial context creating a local market for new or unfamiliar art can be a challenge given the largely traditional\, conservative and tribal nature of the Irish art market but it is important that all good work is given a platform and that we encourage tastes to broaden locally and nationally. \; \;
