Fire Station Artists’ Studios

Located In the north east inner city Dublin, Fire Station Artists’ Studios was established in 1993 to support professional visual artists. Fire Station provides subsidised residential live/work spaces for visual artists. The studios are let for up to two years and nine months and for shorter periods for international artists. A long term residency at Fire Station allows an artist to focus on their practice and general career development in a supportive and well-resourced environment.

Fire Station provides large scale sculpture workshop facilities and training opportunities for artists through its Skills Programme. This programme has expanded to include digital and film training and continues to host technical training and master classes which incorporate critical reflection. A key policy of Fire Station is to contribute to the debate on collaborative and socially engaged arts practice. This is achieved through working with both local and international artists and curators through a commissioning process that incorporates critique.

In recent years Fire Station has expanded the scope of its facilities to offer Sculpture Workshop and Digital Media Residences. Also, in partnership with Arts & Disability Ireland, Fire Station has developed the Studio Award for an artist with a disability.
