VISIT 2008 is the initiative of fifteen artists’ studio organisations in Dublin. On Saturday 19th and
Sunday 20th April, over 150 visual artists living and working in the city will open the doors of their professional practice studios for VISIT 2008.
Ever wondered what artists’
studios look like?
Curious to find out?
Offering a snapshot of artists
working across a wide range of media including printmaking, painting,
drawing, sculpture, glassmaking, ceramics, video, film, photography, installation
and conceptual art, VISIT 2008
celebrates the vibrancy of Dublin’s visual art scene. Throughout
the city, artists’ studios are dotted and clustered in unusual settings:
faded Georgian buildings, renovated stables, urban warehouses, an old
mill, a hidden gem above a car salesroom, dormant council flats, an old
firestation and a state of the art studio complex.
VISIT 2008 is the second VISIT
event and the number of studios and artists opening their doors to the
public has dramatically increased. VISIT 2008 will take place across two
days, with half of the studios opening on Saturday
and the other half opening on Sunday. We wish to encourage the public
to make their own way around to the various locations or, if preferred,
there are options for tours on both days to facilitate the visiting experience.
Supporting the artistic communities in the heart of the city is important for the cultural pulse, energy and vision of Dublin City. VISIT 2008 gives you the chance to see for yourself the creative spaces often unseen by the public.
