Art Walk: February 2025
19 February 2025, 2pm
Enjoy an afternoon of art in the city. We will introduce you to exhibitions and arts organisations in Temple Bar which you can later explore at your own pace.
30 October 2024, 6:30–9pm
Come test a live studio show featuring chats, performances, music, screenings, and sculptures where artists explore alternative ways of being, working and exhibiting.
This could be the first, and last, chance.
Doors: 6.30pm. The event starts at 7pm sharp with no late entry or re-entry.
Dry Run anticipates that all organisers, artworks and performers are/will be in some way struggling with their 'role', intentionally or otherwise, as this is not the real thing. The benefit, as a test-screener, is that perhaps you, too, may get to escape yourself for the night. How fun. No?1 Worry not as, after the fact, it will amaze you how much this never really happened.
A printed programme with information about contributors, schedule and running times will be provided on the night.

Dirty Solutions is an exhibition club made up of arts professionals based in Dublin. The club was born out of a desire to create or revive platforms, spaces and resources to promote convivial, supportive, discursive and critical situations. Current members are: Lily Cahill, Vaari Claffey, Francis Halsall, Aphra Hill and Isabel Nolan.
Dirty Solution's Dry Run is in partnership with Temple Bar Gallery + Studios and made possible by an Dublin City Council Arts Office Project Grant.
Access information
TBG+S is wheelchair accessible. There is an elevator from the ground floor to all other floors. There are gender neutral toilet facilities and a semi-accessible toilet on the ground floor. Guide and assistance dogs welcome.
This lively semi-participatory event will take place over three spaces on two floors. Access via the street-facing Studio 1 entrance. Attendees will be free to move between spaces at will, with quieter areas available, though there will be a distinct ‘Action Zone’ in the main gallery space.
Dry Run will involve: flashing lights, loud noises, photography, recording, swearing and strong scents. The room(s) may be warm due to lighting and other bodies. Stools and benches will be provided for seating.
