In 2013 MART began a project to renovate the fire station in Rathmines, Dublin and now supports over 110 members in 70 Studios spread across 7 studio buildings, and includes a Gallery, Project Space and International residency.

Darragh O’Callaghan. Freedom of The City. Dublin - 2011
MART considers its greatest resource to be the pool of artists and the nexus of like-minded people that the directors have gathered in the course of the organisation’s history. MART seeks to create opportunities in which practitioners are encouraged to take risks and move beyond traditional models of exhibition and art-making. It does this through inventing spaces and models for the artist to work within, positioning the conditions of production as an integral part of the artwork.

MART’s evolving portfolio of initiatives aims to test and sustain contemporary art and the artist. We primarily support video, new media, installation and performance, as art making practices that break new ground, that test and stretch the material and immaterial, and ever changing conventions of ‘the norm’.

We are an artist-led, self-sustaining organisation for the development and promotion of contemporary art. We firmly believe in the self-determining artist and art organisation, as vital societal and cultural catalyst. We practice facilitative and collaborative methods of curation and art production, led by and for the artist, and their practice. We develop creative platforms to support and challenge artists and as a means of promoting cultural leadership. We support contemporary art through public engagement, while providing opportunities for artists through local and international exhibitions. We use methods of pooling resources, problem-solving, exchange and cooperation to resource art, develop and build artistic and civic communities.
