How To Book

Open Collection brings together artworks and objects from Donegal’s public collections in a living, evolving exhibition. Visitors are invited to draw, write, and respond, adding their own creative contributions as the show grows over time.

This participatory project explores what collections mean, who they belong to, and how we connect with them – celebrating both celebrated artists and local voices, including Cathal McGinley, Christy Keeney, Helena Gorey, Jeff Koons, Jill Quigley, Laura Buchanan, Liz Doyle, Marie Barrett, Mhairi Sutherland, Peadar McDaid, Seán Hillen, Victor Vasarely, Caitlín Ní Ghallachóir and Kevin McGee.

Running 5 September – 3 October 2026, the exhibition opens with a free, family‑friendly Opening Art Party on Saturday 5 September, 2–4pm – all welcome.

The exhibition features work from Donegal County Council Collection, Donegal County Museum, and Glebe House & Gallery (OPW).
