Bridge Street Studios, a cornerstone of the Dundalk arts community, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special group exhibition titled "The things that matter most are the things that can’t be seen." Hosted at the Basement Gallery in An Táin Arts Centre, the show features works from current studio members including Orlaith Cullinane, Rachel Tinneswood, and Sarah McKenna, among others.
The international artist duo Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė present their debut exhibition in Rome, titled "Spit and Image," at the Basement gallery. The show, on view until July 10, 2026, features sculptures, installations, and videos that explore identity construction in the digital age, using mirrors, fragmented bodies, and olfactory elements. Works like "Yield (twinning)" (2025) and "Spit and Image 1 and 2" (2025) evoke surveillance, metamorphosis, and duplication, while the Slavic vampire figure of the upiór serves as a metaphor for fluid, non-binary identities.
The Basement Gallery and Open Walls Collective, two student-led organizations at UC Davis, are collaborating to host a senior show for graduating student artists at the Pence Gallery on June 7. The exhibition will feature a wide range of mediums and voices, marking the first time The Basement Gallery has curated a space outside its usual basement venue. Open Walls Collective previously worked with the Pence Gallery on an interactive exhibition, and the event is supported by Education Director Katharine Schultz, a UC Davis alumna and former Basement Gallery member.
