Temple Bar Gallery
About

Founded in 1983 by artists seeking to create a dedicated space for contemporary art, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios (TBG+S) is a cornerstone of Dublin’s cultural quarter. Located in the heart of Temple Bar, the centre houses thirty artist studios and a public gallery that hosts a dynamic programme of exhibitions, talks, and events. TBG+S supports both emerging and established artists working across media, from painting and sculpture to video and installation. The gallery is known for its commitment to experimentation and public engagement, offering opportunities for visitors to interact with artists and explore the creative process. Recent initiatives include the Summer School programme and the HeART of Gaza exhibition, which platformed artwork by Palestinian children. TBG+S also plays a key role in the Dublin Art Book Fair and regularly issues open calls for artist books and residencies. Free to enter and centrally located, it remains a vital space for artistic innovation and cultural exchange in Dublin.
