David Byrd, Margot Bergman, and Mike Silva in "Salon" at Lismore Castle Arts

On view April 25 - October 25, 2026

Lismore Castle Arts, Co. Waterford

Curated by Matthew Higgs

 

“Salon is a painting exhibition. It is also an exhibition of paintings. The exhibition’s title describes a formal device, where the paintings are choreographed in a salon-like hang, often very close to one another – as well as alluding to the idea of the gallery as an animated, social space: literally a ‘salon’, a place where people might come together. The paintings are accompanied by an informal gathering of chairs – sourced from both private and public settings in the Lismore community, which visitors are encouraged to make use of”.
