about

The Joinery was a not-for-profit art space in Stoneybatter, Dublin, which encompassed gallery/project/performance spaces and small studio/workspaces. Set up in 2007 by Miranda Driscoll and Feargal Ward, the Joinery provided a platform for emerging artists and musicians to experiment and explore their practices. The Joinery could be seen as a site for experimentation - for making, exhibiting, performing and discussing. Since 2007 we curated, programmed and facilitated the work of artists, curators and musicians in the gallery and project space. We are programmed events, actions and one-off situations that considered the space where art, music, writing and dialogue can meet. The Joinery was synonymous with a challenging and energetic programme that encouraged diversity and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The organisation was not-for-profit and volunteer-run. It required significant funding to continue its work and this came from a variety of means; over the years we fundraised, operated by profit-share, was supported by Dublin City Council and at times by the Arts Council. For the most part we relied on large fundraising drives to keep the doors open annually.The Joinery was a not-for-profit art space in Stoneybatter, Dublin, which encompassed gallery/project/performance spaces and small studio/workspaces.
