"Purchasing art celebrates your individuality. The enduring pleasure it gives is immeasurable.”

Access to Arts was founded in 2003 by artist and art consultant Patricia Clyne-Kelly.

The underlying ethos of the Gallery is to promote the development of contemporary Irish art, both applied art and fine art, and thereby create the growth necessary to provide a sustainable future for creative talents in Ireland. The Gallery showcases a wide range of the highest quality examples of Irish applied art and fine art across a broad price range.

  • We exhibit works in glass, ceramics, silver, print, oils, watercolours, fibre, wood, limestone, and bronze... More information about current and future exhibitions can be found in the exhibition section.
  • Individual, skillfully created art works by over 50 artists from all over Ireland are available. Artists are encouraged to show their latest work in the Access to Arts Gallery. Both established and emerging artists are represented.

The Gallery also offers a full commissioning service for individual and business clients. Projects include presentation/commemoration gifts, awards and customised interior and outdoor sculptures. An extensive library of portfolios is available to assist with commissions.

"There is a wealth of visual art talent in Ireland today. There has never been a better time to start collecting art as the diversity of styles over a broad price range makes art accessible to everyone. It just takes time to look and discover what hits your spot!", says Patricia.

"Access to Arts endeavours to make your journey of discovery an interesting and enjoyable experience and offers advice for those wishing to purchase for investment. The group shows change continually so it is worth making regular visits to the gallery. The gallery is a welcoming, intimate space in which to browse at leisure."
