Artspace was formed as an artist's collective by a group of Galway-based artists in 1986. The priority was to develop studio space for professional artists and to support group and individual work and exhibitions. More than 100 artists have been part of Artspace Studios over the 25 years. There are currently 19 artists between two locations in Liosban and the Black Box. In February 2011, Artspace studios were part of Supermarket ArtFair in Stockholm Sweden. In August 2011, the studios had a 25th anniversary show with a month-long exhibition and open studio with public events, collaborative workshops and talks in Galway Arts Centre. The events and show were designed to involve the public in the artistic process and to foster debate and interaction with other artistic collectives in Galway.
