Bridge Street Studios celebrate their 30th anniversary with a visual art exhibition, 'The things that matter most are the things that can’t be seen,' hosted at the Basement Gallery, An Táin Arts Centre.
The exhibition will run from February 25th to April 4th, 2026, with opening hours on Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. The Opening Launch is set to take place on Wednesday, February 25th.
The 'The things that matter most are the things that can’t be seen' exhibition features the works of eight dynamic professional artists and craftspeople who are all based in Bridge Street Studios, including Orlaith Cullinane, Rachel Tinniswood, Mary Cowan, Suzanne Carroll, Caóilfíonn Murphy O'Hanlon, Orla Barry, Sarah McKenna, and Fiona Quigley. Their collective expertise spans a wide array of mediums, including paintings, sculpture, prints, ceramics, textiles, and mixed media.
The artists have chosen the quote 'The things that matter most are the things that can’t be seen' by A.A. Milne to capture the spirit of the studio’s vibrant and lasting community on its momentous 30th anniversary. The exhibition serves as a testament to the importance of shared creative environments. The artwork demonstrates the power and strength in a collective and the ways in which sharing space, time and energy with a peer group can creatively sustain the individual's artistic development. The artists have explored the theme with rich imagery, allusion, and symbolism, crafting responses and connections on personal, local, and universal levels. Each artist brings a unique perspective to the theme, creating a diverse and thought-provoking exhibition.
