From an iconic Fire Station built in the late 1800s, to a repurposed hub of artistic production since 1991, Fire Station Artists’ Studios has lived many lives. Whether hosting firefighters’ families for most of the 20th century, providing shelter with Simon Community in the 80s, or hosting visual artists to live and work for the past 30+ years, this building has played a pivotal role in the north inner city of Dublin for over a century.

Exclusively, FSAS is opening to the public its emerging archive and invites visitors to delve into the past of this emblematic building. Join us for a presentation of the nascent archive and tours of the building, reminiscing the past while looking at the present use of the building.
