Online applications now open for 10 potential units in Artane Place Artist Workspace

Dublin City Council in collaboration with Xestra Asset Management has announced a new opportunity for Artist Workspaces in Artane Place (formerly Butterly Park) Dublin 5.

The City Arts Office will publish an Open Call for expressions of interest in these units.

The City Arts Office understands from its own research that artists can afford at most €200 per month for a space of this kind and final pricing will be guided by this research.

Application Process Dublin City Council is committed to an open, transparent and competitive process.

Applications can come from individual artists, groups of artists working together or artistic organisations.
