A “truly special” £6 million collection of Irish and international art will be showcased for free in Northern Ireland from next Sunday.
More than 350 works by artists including Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Banksy, Julian Opie and Salvador Dali will be on display when Art and Soul returns to the Culloden Estate and Spa outside Belfast.
The event will also feature a major outdoor exhibition of 90 large sculptures and installations set throughout the 12 acres of gardens overlooking Belfast Lough.
More than 70 smaller, more intimate sculptures will be on display throughout the hotel interior.
Art lovers can also discover works by celebrated Irish and international artists, including Ian Pollock, Eamonn Ceannt, Giacinto Bosco, Bob Quinn, Paddy Campbell, Sandra Bell and John Fitzgerald.
The show is Gormleys’ 13th major art and sculpture event, with the Culloden hosting the exhibition for more than a decade.
Oliver Gormley said: “Art and Soul gives art lovers a unique opportunity to view these incredible works of art in the beautiful surroundings of the Culloden, the perfect setting to showcase some of the most celebrated artists of our time.
“Adults and children will enjoy the event equally, and our previous events in The K Club, Russborough, and the Castlemartyr resort attracted over 10,000 visitors.”
Howard Hastings, chairman of the Culloden Estate and Spa, said Art and Soul brings “something truly special” to the venue.
“We’re thrilled to welcome guests to explore this exceptional celebration of creativity and culture in one of the most beautiful settings in Ireland,” he said.
Supported by Ards and North Down Borough Council, Art and Soul is free to attend and open to the public daily from 11am–7pm until August 31.
