Information on hosting your exhibition

Open Call | Visual Arts Programme 2020, Tuar Ard Arts Centre

Tuar Ard Arts Centre welcomes enquiries and applications from artists who would be interested in participating in our 2020 Visual Arts programme by displaying an exhibition of their work in the Centre’s Bob Traynor Gallery. As a community based arts centre, we strive to be accessible and welcoming to artists of all levels and styles, and to provide the opportunity for local, regional, and national artists to exhibit their work to a public audience. We offer complimentary exhibition slots throughout the year which highlight and promote the work of a wide range of visual artists.

Artists can apply by sending an exhibition description (no more than 500 words), and up to 10 images of their visual works to info@tuarard.ie. Artists are asked to consider in their proposal a potential outreach aspect of their work which could be explored, such as an associated workshop, talk, performance or event. Any further enquiries about the Bob Traynor Gallery and the Tuar Ard Visual Arts Programme can also be addressed to info@tuarard.ie.
