Located in the North East district of Dublin's inner city, Fire Station Artists' Studios was established in 1993 by the Arts Council to address the needs of professional visual artists. It provides combined live/work studios for Irish and international artists, sculpture workshop facilities for large-scale work, as well as training, talks and master classes for artists. Uniquely placed on the doorstep of Dublin's city centre, Fire Station is an integral part of the local community, delivering projects that innovatively engage with communities of professional artists and contributing to debate around participatory arts practice. Fire Station encourages visual artists to apply for its residency at the above address and online.
