Pallas Projects/Studios, who have been breaking new ground for Irish visual arts and culture since 1996, are to showcase the work of Irish contemporary artists in a NYC-style fundraising auction, with the support of Whyte’s and the Irish Georgian Society.

This exciting collaboration between the auction house and the artist-run space will introduce Irish contemporary art – painting, print, photography and sculpture – to seasoned auction-goers, with many affordable works and the chance to secure a choice piece by a major Irish artist, or to grab a bargain by a future prospect.

It will take place in the grandeur of the Knight of Glin exhibition room of the City Assembly House, aptly built by the Society of Artists in Ireland between 1765-71, as the first public exhibition gallery in Ireland and Britain.

30 April to 2 May 2019 (Auction at 7.00pm on Thursday 2 May)
City Assembly House, 58 South William Street, Dublin 2
