The Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union begins on 1 July and runs until end of December 2026. The Council is the EU institution representing member state governments and every six months, the presidency of this institution rotates among them. The presiding country sets the EU agenda, focusing on priorities and pressing issues.

For over a decade, this Parliament has been proud to host art exhibitions organised by the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union, giving people the opportunity to explore art and cultural expression from across our Union. The Irish works in our collection reflect the diversity and richness of our Union and attest to the continuity of Veil’s legacy in supporting new and young artists. Click here!
