What does PhotoIreland do?
The Year 2021 in Review

We really look forward to an amazing 2022 where we will go back to Dublin Castle for the second edition of the The Museum of Contemporary Photography of Ireland, an inviting public-facing project around the future of the museum. The venue will be host to our ambitious project On the History and Practice of Photography in Ireland, defining the practice with the openness and all-encompassing ethic that characterises PhotoIreland's work. As we say goodbye to another phenomenal year for Photography in Ireland, we take the opportunity to review the work of PhotoIreland.

New Irish Works: Call now Open

First presented in 2013, the call for the 4th edition of this triennial artist support programme is now open. PhotoIreland calls all photographers and artists critically engaged in image making, specifically those based in Ireland and those Irish artists developing their practice abroad, regardless of age and career stage, to submit their recent and ongoing projects to the fourth edition of New Irish Works.

New Irish Works is a unique artist support programme run since 2013 by PhotoIreland in 3-year cycles, generating a growing set of professional development opportunities for selected lens-based practitioners throughout the duration of each cycle. The call is open to Irish and Ireland-based artists and it seeks new work by artists at any stage of their career.
