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.
This milestone highlights the enduring importance of collective studio spaces in sustaining regional art scenes. By providing a stable environment for three decades, Bridge Street Studios has fostered professional development for local artists and contributed significantly to the cultural infrastructure of Dundalk, demonstrating the resilience of artist-led initiatives.
