Temple Bar Gallery + Studios announces seven new studio members for 2013/14

22 July 2013

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios is pleased to announce seven new studio artists for the year 2013/14. The new member artists were awarded their studios following an open submission application process, which took place in May 2013.

In total, one Membership Studio for a three-year period was awarded to Jacki Irvine. Additionally, Sarah Pierce was granted a one-year extension on her Membership Studio. This year, four One-Year Project Studios were allocated to and Miranda Blennerhasset, Lucy Andrews, Vanessa Donoso Lopez and Neil Carroll.

2013 sees the continuation of the TBG+S Graduate Artist’s Studio. This award allocates a large studio, free of charge, as well as a variety of mentoring and development opportunities, to a recent graduate of a Fine Art BA programme. The recipient, David Fagan, was selected via an open submission process which saw a particularly high number and standard of entrants.

In our 30th anniversary year, TBG+S is pleased to be able to continue the tradition of working with artists at various stages of their artistic development. The quality of work and high level of activity of our new studio members will continue to ensure that TBG+S is the most vibrant and exciting community in which artists can work in Ireland. We are looking forward to supporting this new group of TBG+S studio members to make their work in 2013 and 2014.

The seven artists will take up their new studios at TBG+S between now and spring 2014.
