A survey of the work of fifteen artists who spent time on residence at the Wilton Park Studios provided by IPUT Real Estate, this exhibition is presented in association with the RHA.
Showing the work of Elizabeth Archbold, Alan Butler, Gary Coyle RHA, Cathy Dorman, Brendan Earley, Leah Hewson, Alan James Burns, Helen McMahon, Michelle Malone, Siobhan O’Callaghan, Alan Phelan, Una Sealy RHA, Anna Spearman, Corban Walker and Sarah Wren Wilson, the exhibition presents an overview of the wealth of artistic creativity and practice enabled by the studios.
The Wilton Park Studios opened their doors in 2019 in response to the crisis in spaces for artists in Dublin. Since then, three fully supported studios have been offered to artists at a crucial stage in their careers for eight-month long residencies. The artists are selected by the RHA, and the studios are fully provided for by IPUT Real Estate as part of their commitment to creating spaces for arts and culture to thrive in the city.
