INTRODUCTION
Temple Bar Gallery + Studios
is a leading artists’ studio complex
and contemporary art gallery
in Dublin City Centre.
We are a centre for creativity, providing a place
for artists to thrive and ways for people to
experience contemporary art.
Founded in 1983 – by artists, for artists.
Our mission is to support the development of
artists and the creation of art. We achieve this
through high quality studio provision and an
ambitious exhibition programme. We support an
inclusive environment of learning and creativity
and nurture close and sustained engagement
of audiences with the work of Irish and
international artists.

30 31SUPPORT US Commissioning Circle Support Irish and international artists to attain their full ambitions for exhibitions at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. A donation to the Commissioning Circle supports the production of new work and experimentation. TBG+S presents five innovative contemporary art exhibitions each year. We identify Irish artists at promising stages in their practice and work with highly-acclaimed international artists. The exhibitions give talented artists a platform at pivotal points 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. 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. Your €1,000 donation to the Commissioning Circle goes directly into our exhibition budgets. Donate at www.templebargallery.com/support- us/commissioning-circle Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, as a registered charity, is eligible to claim tax relief on donations of €250 or more. That’s €449.28 on every €1,000 donated, or a total of €1,449.28, effectively increasing the impact of your donation. Tai Shani, Tragodía, 2019, Installation view, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios.
