Residency in Dublin, Ireland

Temple Bar Gallery and Studios (TBG&S)



Temple Bar Gallery and Studios (TBG&S) is one of Ireland’s leading contemporary art venues. Centrally located in Dublin’s cultural quarter, TBG&S is a publicly-funded, not-for-profit arts organisation. The organisation was set-up by artists in 1983 and is dedicated to the promotion, presentation and mediation of contemporary visual art and to the provision of affordable studio space to artists. The building, which is distinctive for its clean modernist lines, integrates a spacious gallery at ground floor, an impressive atrium space and thirty artists’ studios over three floors.

Of the thirty artists’ studios at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, one is reserved for international artists while the others are allocated to Dublin-based artists on a competitive basis. The International Studio Programme at TBG&S offers an opportunity for artists based outside of Ireland to live and work in Dublin for a period of three months. The programme aims to encourage international contacts for artists and to provide artists with opportunities for researching and developing their creative practice in a Dublin context.

The International Studio Programme is open to visual artists who work in all disciplines. The international studio is the largest in size (71m sq) and one of the best in the building. It is not a residential studio. Liaison staff at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios provides assistance in locating suitable accommodation in Dublin city. The cost of the studio is 250 Euros per month.

Temple Bar Gallery and Studios is also interested in developing its International Artist Exchange Programme with similar arts organisations. TBG&S has established a successful artistic exchange partnership with HIAP - Helsinki International Artist-in-residence Programme.

LA MAISON JAUNE is a residency program initiated in 2007 by PATRICIA LOW CONTEMPORARY, Gstaad, Switzerland. In a hamlet not far from where Balthus has lived and worked all his life, artists will be hosted in a beautiful 18th century chalet called “La Maison Jaune”. There, facing the mountains, we hope they will find inspiration and renew Gstaad’s link with the great artists of our time
