Sculpture in Context Logo and that it is their 4oth year

Sculpture in Context will celebrate 40 Years of showcasing sculpture in Ireland this September. The DEADLINE for applying is next Friday!

Exhibition entries are open to artists working in three dimensions in any medium. They encourage the broadest possible definition of sculptural practice, encompassing object-making, installation, performance, video, and emerging hybrid forms, both permanent and ephemeral.

Note: In the past, several feltmakers have submitted and been accepted to exhibit in Sculpture in Context shows. Search ‘Sculpture in Context’ on our Feltmakers Ireland website to read about some of these members’ pieces.

The exhibition attracts numerous visitors and offers significant visibility and potential for selling work.

The large sculptures will be showcased in the garden’s natural setting, creating a dialogue between art and nature. The indoor gallery will showcase a curated selection of works, offering an intimate and thoughtfully arranged viewing experience.

Entrance is by open submission, and selection is made by an independent panel of judges.

DEADLINE: 11:59 PM, on Friday the 25th April, 2025.

How to Submit

Up to three submissions per artist are allowed, with an entry fee of € 16 for each submission.

The online submission process requires support documentation. Please note that if you close the portal mid-entry, your application will not be saved.
