The Courthouse Gallery & Studios is delighted to invite you all to Summer of Love Exhibition, our 2023 edition of our long running annual Summer Open Exhibition.
Our open submission exhibition is a vital part of our annual programming, serving as a celebration of diverse visual arts from Co. Clare and all over Ireland. It brings together artists and the community, fostering a sense of connection and appreciation. This year, we have themed our exhibition "Summer of Love," aiming to counteract the turmoil and trauma prevalent in the world. As visitors walk through our exhibition, they will be immersed in joyful artwork that embodies happy moments, love, and peace. The exhibition, hosting 96 artists and 119 artworks, is open to all artists, regardless of their level or style. Taking place during International Pride Month, we have created a warm and inviting environment that embraces love and positivity.
