The gallery encompasses 800 square feet of exhibition space spread over two floors and displays a wide range of art from the traditional representative style to the latest contemporary and avant-garde styles. On the lower floor, the gallery offers a rolling display of work for sale - predominantly landscape paintings, still life, portraits and abstracts, while upstairs is devoted to solo collections. Once a year the Cork Arts Society Exhibition occupies the entire venue! Other exhibitions include numerous group and solo shows, including works by Donegal artists, Welsh artists and Cork printmakers. The Lavit Gallery seeks to provide opportunities for artists at all stages of their careers, and above all to help full-time artists make a living from their art.
