Art Walk: May 2025

Enjoy an afternoon of art in the city. We will introduce you to exhibitions and arts organisations in Temple Bar which you can later explore at your own pace.

Meet at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios for an introduction to Katarzyna Perlak's Gallery exhibition Better a bare foot than none and Prom Night Portraits, a showcase of portraits by Donal Talbot in Studio 6 as part of Bealtaine Festival's 2025 LGBTQ+ celebratory event.

We will finish with a visit to Photo Museum Ireland for the exhibition Prix Pictet: Human, the latest exhibition from the world’s leading award for photography and sustainability, featuring Hoda Afshar, Gera Artemova, Ragnar Axelsson, Alessandro Cinque, Siân Davey, Federico Ríos Escobar, Gauri Gill, Michał Łuczak, Yael Martínez, Richard Renaldi, Vanessa Winship, and Vasantha Yogananthan.

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios is a leading artists’ studio complex and contemporary art gallery supporting the development of artists and the creation of art.

Bealtaine is a national festival celebrating the arts and creativity as we age. The festival is run by Age & Opportunity, the national development organisation working to enable the best possible quality of life for us all as we age.

Photo Museum Ireland is a centre for contemporary photography, dedicated to advancing the development, appreciation and understanding of photography and visual culture.

Event location and tour route information: A member of our team will be present to welcome you at our street-facing gallery. We will walk approximately five minutes between each venue. The walk will be through a busy pedestrianised area with mixed cobbled and sometimes uneven surfaces. All venues will be on ground level or accessible via a lift. The introductions will be standing but with seating available. The venues are varied according to each exhibition and may include sound, moving images, artificial or dimmed lighting. For further information on accessibility please contact orla@templebargallery.com or call 01 6710073.
