MART is an artist-led organisation founded by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan and supported by core members through an ethos of cooperation. Since 2007 MART has sought to create opportunities by conceiving creative platforms to support artists from all stages of their careers to test new ground. 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.

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.

The MART Gallery is housed in a renovated old Fire station in Dublin, Ireland. In our third year the gallery have hosted over 50 exhibitions and events.

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’.
