Swift Summer Open 2026

Discover the vibrant creativity of County Meath this summer at the Swift Summer Open 2026 at Swift Cultural Centre in Trim. Running from Friday 10 July to Friday 7 August 2026, this free exhibition celebrates the richness and diversity of local visual arts, showcasing work by artists at all stages of their careers from Trim and the surrounding areas.

Featuring painting, drawing, sculpture, print, and mixed media, the exhibition offers a dynamic snapshot of the region’s artistic talent and creative energy. Whether you’re a dedicated art lover or simply looking for an inspiring day out, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy.

Join us for the Launch Evening on Friday 10 July at 6:30 p.m., an informal and welcoming opportunity to meet the artists and celebrate this exciting showcase. Admission is free and no booking is required.

Drop in throughout the summer, support local artists, and experience creativity at the heart of your community!
