Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, Art museum in Temple Bar district, Dublin, Ireland

Temple Bar Gallery and Studios is an art museum in central Dublin that spans multiple floors with exhibition spaces and around thirty artist studios spread throughout. The interior has rooms of varying sizes and different levels of natural light, creating distinct environments suited to different types of creative work.

The venue opened in 1983 inside a former factory building, and underwent major renovation work completed in 1994 by architects McCullough Mulvin. This transformation converted an industrial space into a center for contemporary artistic creation.

Since 2007 TBG+S has run a residency exchange with HIAP, the Helsinki International Artist Programme: the studios host a Finnish artist while an Irish artist takes a studio in Finland. The Finnish photographer Heli Rekula spent her residency year there in 2008. The building also carries Garrett Phelan's rooftop metal arch, Our Union Only in Truth, funded by online crowdfunding in 2013.

You can visit current exhibitions and check the website for information about workshops and special events. Regular guided tours are available if you want to learn more about how the space is used and meet some of the working artists.

A metal arch on the roof reads "Our Union Only in Truth", a 2013 sculpture by Irish artist Garrett Phelan paid for by an online crowdfunding campaign. The gallery's exhibition room is deliberately off-square, with pillars, openings and a shop-front aspect rather than a plain white cube.
