Overview

You'll have to wander slightly off the beaten track to find this small city centre gallery. The Kavanagh was one of the first contemporary galleries to take advantage of the cheap rents in Temple Bar before its current incarnation as Dublin's official cultural quarter. The gallery is now located across the river, just behind the luxurious Morrison Hotel. Kevin Kavanagh is usually there himself and it's definitely worth having a chat with this artistic pioneer. Hosting several exhibitions a year, gallery artists have included Michael Boran, Colin Martin and Alison Pilkington.
