About Butler Gallery

Butler Gallery is one of Ireland’s most vibrant contemporary art spaces outside of Dublin. In operation since 1943, the gallery was located in medieval Kilkenny Castle from 1976-2020. After a long development the gallery move to the historic Evans’ Home in 2020. Our policy and programme are committed to exhibiting the work of Irish and emerging artists along with highlighting major international artists, when possible. We are privileged to have an important collection of Irish and international art dating from the 1800s, which we are committed to safeguarding for the future. Our dynamic education department, offering programmes for family, youth, adult and community audiences, encourages public engagement with exhibitions, contributing to audience development and raising awareness of the Gallery’s work at a local, national and international level. We offer our visitors contemporary exhibitions, which reflect the constantly changing nature of visual art practice and the range of media used in the making of contemporary work. The Butler Gallery exists on site and off site, as a place of interaction between artists and the public – a contemporary space within a non-contemporary setting. Occupying this unique position on the Irish art circuit, we are dedicated to remaining at the forefront of artistic excellence. Proud to be funded by the Arts Council of Ireland.
