Project Arts Centre, Contemporary art gallery and cultural center in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland
Project Arts Centre is a multidisciplinary arts facility in Temple Bar that presents contemporary exhibitions, theatre, dance, and music performances across interconnected spaces. The building contains a main theatre, a smaller cube venue, and gallery areas designed to accommodate both large productions and artist development work.
The centre was founded in 1967 and operated from multiple locations before relocating to its custom-built home in the Temple Bar district around 2000. This move established it as a key anchor for the neighbourhood's artistic revival during the area's broader regeneration.
This space shapes the cultural rhythm of Temple Bar by hosting experimental exhibitions and live performances from local and international artists. Visitors encounter works that reflect how Dublin's creative community pushes artistic boundaries across multiple disciplines.
The centre is easily accessible on foot within Temple Bar and maintains an active year-round calendar of events and exhibitions that are frequently updated. Visitors should check ahead to see what is scheduled, as programming changes regularly and some spaces may host private events.
The centre runs a dedicated artist programme that provides working space and time for creators to develop and test new work before public presentation. This focus on nurturing emerging artistic practice sets it apart as more than just a venue.
