Working Artist Studios is an artist-managed venue<br />
based in the town of Skibbereen. It comprises<br />
three galleries and a number of studios which are<br />
occupied by our group of four artists: Marie Cullen,<br />
Barry McCullough, Ian McNinch and Mary Jordan.<br />
Each artist has his or her own studio and everyone<br />
shares the gallery space. We regularly update our<br />
galleries and hold special openings, events and<br />
evenings throughout the year.<br />
Our intention is to provide an informal environment<br />
where engagement between artists, art-lovers and<br />
the wider community can occur.<br />
We invite you to visit, browse the galleries and<br />
meet the artists.<br />
