About Us

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios is a studios-based organisation with a significant contemporary visual art gallery located in Dublin city centre.

Established by artists in 1983, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios (TBG+S) was one of the first cultural organisations rehoused by the Temple Bar Cultural Quarter regeneration in the early 1990s.  Our mission is to provide subsidised workspaces to professional working artists, to present progressive and ambitious work by contemporary Irish and international visual artists and to promote the knowledge of and mediate contemporary visual art. 

TBG+S is the only purpose-built gallery and artists' studios complex located in the heart of the Dublin city and is a nationally significant institution.  For over a quarter of a century, TBG+S has been at the cornerstone of artistic activity in Ireland.  There are thirty artists' studios to accommodate professional working artists and curators and a ground floor gallery with a dynamic programme of curated exhibitions and live events.

The Board, staff and artist membership believe in reviewing and updating our mission regularly so that TBG+S will continue to develop with vision.

TBG+S is annually funded by The Arts Council of Ireland and Dublin City Council.
