Art + Soul International Art and Sculpture Exhibition returns to Castlemartyr Resort in Cork this summer. Now in its fourth year, the event has become one of Cork’s largest and most highly anticipated cultural events, with over 10,000 guests attending last year.

The exhibition showcases a vast array of contemporary art and sculpture set against the magnificent backdrop of the resort’s stunning estate. The event is a rare opportunity to view works from some of the world’s most renowned artists, including Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Banksy, Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, alongside leading Irish sculptors and painters.

Over 100 outdoor, life-size sculptures will be on display throughout the 220-acre grounds of the 18th-century manor estate, along with 200 artworks inside the hotel. Visitors can stroll through the expansive outdoor and indoor galleries, experiencing monumental sculptures in an immersive environment. 

Included is a program of artists' talks and daily guided tours, giving guests the opportunity to learn about the creative process behind the works on display.

During the exhibition, Castlemartyr Resort is offering special rates for Art + Soul overnight stays, afternoon tea, and private dining opportunities each evening.
