Studios

Thirty high-quality and affordable studios at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios provide professional artists, at all stages of their careers, from recent graduates to internationally recognised artists with a vital place to work in Dublin City Centre. The work made in the studios goes on to be exhibited in Ireland and throughout the world.

Gallery

Our exhibitions identify Irish artists of talent at pivotal points in their practice, and introduces international artists to Irish audiences. The gallery programme presents five exhibitions per year, with a strong emphasis on solo exhibitions. We are home to Dublin Art Book Fair - Ireland’s only art book fair.
