Studios of Ranelagh Arts - a new space for PIGSY to create
After my year’s art residency in Spain and then my return to Ireland, I am now really pleased to have been offered a studio space in Ranelagh Arts. While in Malaga, Spain I was artist in resident in La Casa Amarilla Centro de Arte y Cultura Contemporáne. It was an amazing experience which culminated in my solo exhibition “I Went to Mass”.
La Casa Amarilla had a gallery on the ground floor and then studios above where a selection of multidiscipinary artists worked in various spaces.
Artist Collaboration
Sharing spaces with other artists is a wonderfully collaborative thing to do and the creativie engagement adds to most artist’s work. In particular, I enjoyed the collaboration with the other artists in the studios of La Casa Amarilla because they were all so diverse and from different backgrounds and countries - again it all adds to creative endevours.
After my return to Ireland, I worked from studios in White Swan in Dublin 8. You can read about the White Swan space in a past blog about this amazing space and all that I got up to.
Ranelagh Art Studio
And now my newest art residency is in my hometown of Ranelagh. It is a shared space within the Ranelagh Arts Centre and again I am looking forward to engaging and collaborating with other artists and creatives. Nestled on the main street of Ranelagh, among shops, barbers and restaurants (only steps away from the Ranelagh institution that is Nick’s coffee!) there is a buzz around the area which I find immensely inspiring. Additionally it is only a few shops away from FrameXperts which is great for my framing needs - so my coffee addiction and framing is all covered literally at my front door!!
Pop in and see me if you are passing - or drop me a line by email to arrange a visit.
