MART Studios is one of the leading providers of sustainable workspace for the creative community in Dublin and Galway. With seven studio buildings and over 150 members, we offer a range of studios and project spaces to support emerging and established artists working in all forms of creativity. By working with local landlords and authorities, we transform spaces into vibrant and inspiring places for artists to work and create. 

We are dedicated to cultural advocacy, community building, and sustainability. Our studios provide a professional and affordable environment for artists to concentrate on their work, and our organization operates on a self-sustaining model. MART Studios is the largest supplier of independent space for the arts and cultural community in Ireland, and we have a strong impact on the local and national creative economy. 

We believe that our members and the communities they form are our greatest asset. That’s why we organize Studio Crits, Open Studios, and exhibitions, and maintain an active social media presence for member promotion and interaction. At MART Studios, we aim to create opportunities for artists and provide a space for them to test new ground at every stage of their careers. Our main objectives and core ethos revolve around redeveloping buildings, working with local communities, attracting and creating jobs, and improving localities. All income generated by the organization is invested back into our activities, such as creating platforms for artists, refurbishing buildings, and promoting the growth of artistic communities.
