                        of contemporary visual art through high-quality

                        exhibition programme. We strive to cultivate an
                        environment of learning and creativity by nurturing
                        close and sustained engagement of audiences

     Creative Generations is an innovative arts-
     in-education programme, led by an Arts
     Education Curator, which brings quality visual

     an ambitious new artwork for their school.
     Workshop sessions in both the school and
     gallery, and studio visits at Temple Bar Gallery +
     Studios introduce children to contemporary art
     and artists’ work.
     Creative Generations is generously

Commissioning Circle

The Commissioning Circle supports Irish and
international artists reach their full ambition
for their exhibitions at Temple Bar Gallery +
Studios. It supports the production of new work
and experimentation. A €1,000 donation to
the Commissioning Circle goes directly into
production budgets of our exhibitions.

TBG+S presents five innovative contemporary
art exhibitions each year. Irish artists of
immense promise and highly-acclaimed
international artists are invited to exhibit.
The exhibitions give talented artists a
platform at pivotal points in their careers for
experimentation and development of new work.
Exhibiting at TBG+S often marks a cornerstone
in the career path of Irish visual artists and
the work of international artists of acclaim is
regularly introduced to audiences here for
the first time.

Exhibiting artists at TBG+S are selected
through comprehensive research and studio
visits undertaken by the Programme Curator in
conjunction with the Director. A Curatorial Panel
of artists and Board members, alongside the
Director and Programme Curator, input into the
Exhibition Policy through discursive quarterly
meetings.

Commissioning Circle supporters will be
individually named and invited to previews of
the exhibitions they have helped to fund.
