It has proved to be a valuable facility and resource for hundreds of artists and is now one of the leading contemporary fine art print studios in Ireland. The Studio’s 4-storey building was custom built as a printmaking workshop. On the first floor is a lithographic, relief print and digital print workshop area. The second floor is the etching workshop area. The top floor provides a workshop for screen print and an analogue photography and photo-etching darkroom.

Black Church Print Studio is delighted to present the soft fall of land curated by Ciara Hickey.

This exhibition brings together new work by Bassam Issa al-Sabah, Sighle Bhreathnach-Cashell, Chloe Brenan, Aisling Conroy, Grace Ryan and Soft Fiction Projects. It considers the idea of Utopia and examines the pursuit of this imagined, impossible and aspirational state from a range of perspectives. The artworks in the exhibition oscillate between escapism and activism, fantasy and instruction for creating an alternative, better world.

Late Opening for Culture Night: Fri 19 Sept. 2025. Open until 9 pm.
