Exhibitions
Axis has two exhibition spaces - the Mezzanine Gallery and the Café Gallery. You'll find the details of current exhibitions here. We welcome you to drop by and see our latest exhibition or join our mailing list to be invited to exhibition openings, events and workshops!
Axis loves hearing from artists with exhibition outlines and ideas. Our Gallery fills up fast but we are always seeking connections with new visual artists, currators and groups. The Axis Gallery is currently fully programmed until mid 2026. We do have space within the Café walls late 2025/ early 2026.
The Axis Gallery and Café spaces are both better suited to wall-hanging work but we are open to exploring exhibitions in different mediums and genres and are always seeking exciting new work.

The “Leave No One Behind” exhibition features a series of collages which were created in workshops as an artistic response to questions around poverty and exclusion. Groups responded to prompts including “What does it mean to Leave No One Behind?”, “What does support feel like to you, and “What are barriers to participation?”, using them as a starting point to create these artworks.
The results of 13 workshops with 10 groups around the country, the exhibition celebrates creative expression as an equaliser, supporting everyone to have their viewpoints heard regardless of level of education, level of spoken English, confidence, and familiarity with the topic.
ATD Ireland works with people in persistent poverty to build a more just and inclusive society. The Building Community project focuses on ways to build community together where everyone is welcome, respected, and where skills are recognised.
