What "across Limerick city" means in practice

EVA International is not staged in a single venue. The programme is distributed across multiple locations in Limerick, so visitors generally move between sites rather than seeing everything in one building. If you are planning around a specific edition, check the official programme for the list of venues and any site-specific opening hours, since these can differ from the overall run dates.

Why the edition number matters

EVA International is a recurring biennial, so each edition is numbered. The 41st edition is the most recent one covered in the source material, with dates in 2025. If you are looking for a different edition, the number and year are the fastest way to distinguish it from the 41st.

Other current activity

Beyond the biennial itself, EVA International also runs projects and news outside the main exhibition period. One example noted in the source is "Better Words," described as a three-year collaboration with Eli Lilly.

Practical takeaways

  • If you want to know whether the 41st edition is still on: it concluded on 26 October 2025.
  • If you are researching a specific artist: the featured list above is the starting point, but the full programme may include additional participants.
  • If you are planning a visit to a future edition: treat the dates and venues as edition-specific and confirm them against the official programme before travelling.
