Temple Bar Gallery + Studios announces the Commissioned Writer 2021

The TBG+S Commissioned Writer assists in expanding possibilities for writing about art. Each year we invite an Irish writer to create a series of pieces inspired by the exhibitions at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. This commission invites writers to take their own path, fictional, personal or otherwise, and in forms inclusive of essay, poetry, prose or script. The series of texts are available to download from our website, with printed copies available in the gallery.
