It is exciting to see that artists of different stages in their careers, both Irish and International, are being represented in the programme and that the gallery is focusing on developing new audiences for its work. Space is at a premium again in Dublin city, and we are lucky to still have this fantastic cultural resource of space for artistic work and creativity in the heart of the city'.
