Catherine Hammond Gallery

Opened in 2004 by art expert Catherine Hammond, this contemporary arts gallery is located in the beautiful coastal village of Glengarriff in County Cork. Reflecting the knowledge and expertise of its founder, who has over two decades of experience working with leading cultural organizations in the United States, including the Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston), the MacArthur Foundation (Chicago) and the Smithsonian Institution (Washington D.C.), the Gallery shows a range of contemporary visual artworks from Ireland and America, including smaller, more affordable works for holiday gifts.
