Monster Truck Gallery and Studios
About
Monster Truck Gallery and Studios was founded by a group of like-minded artist and designer friends, with the aim of creating a new, independent space for artistic activity. The gallery and studios are located in a 3 floor building on Francis Street, Dublin 8, which has now become a central axis for a huge variety of creative people to experiment and present their work. The relentlessly energetic programme of events combines one-week exhibitions with longer curated projects, and artist initiated shows. The regular launch nights have become legendary in Dublin as a place to congregate and share in the infectious enthusiasm that permeates the building and its visitors. The organisation encourages openness and accessibility to artists and the visiting public alike, and aims to provide an open platform for the visual arts. Monster Truck Gallery & Studios is not a commercial entity, but facilitates artists selling their own work by providing studios and exhibition space.
Since 2006, Monster Truck’s huge turnover of exhibitions has made it one of the most talked about art spaces in Dublin city. It is currently collaborating with the Royal Hibernian Academy in a series of events and projects. The organisation has appeared in numerous art and non art media, including features in The Sunday Times Style Magazine, Image Magazine, The Irish Times Saturday Magazine, The Sunday Tribune, TG4, RTE and Newstalk radio, and ArtReview magazine.
