Curated by IMMA, the Irish Museum of Modern Art
Dublin City Council, in collaboration with and curated by IMMA, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, invites submissions for a Visual Arts Exhibition Commission to be created for children, schools and families, which will be located in the exhibition room in Cabra Library for approximately 10 weeks April – June 2024
Background and Context
The City Arts Plan; our Arts, Education and Learning Policy; and Dublin City’s Culture and Creativity Strategy include among their objectives, increasing access and provision for children and young people to quality arts experiences in local neighbourhoods. We also recognise the ongoing need to support the quality of artistic experience through professional development of artists, arts and cultural workers, educators and facilitators.
The dual strengths of the library as a site for cultural access and education is the sense of ownership felt by citizens - regardless of income, status, age, gender or ethnic origin - and its connection to local social, community and education networks.
The Children’s Art in Libraries has been managed by City Arts Office since 2010, offering a free programme of commissioned and programmed performances, exhibitions, workshops and short residencies. Dublin City Public Libraries and City Arts Office now work in partnership to support key Creative Hubs within Ballyfermot, Cabra and Coolock libraries. A fourth Creative Hub will be piloted in Central Library in winter 2023. The multi-disciplinary Creative Hubs programme is delivered by The Ark.
Creative Hubs sustain high quality arts experiences for children, schools and families to access in their Library and locality, through the development of enhanced educational, community and cultural partnership. For further information on Children’s Art in Libraries: Creative Hubs to date, see link:

In 2015 , following an open call process, Dublin City Council’s inaugural visual art commission supported by Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, was awarded to Aideen Barry to create an exhibition for children in Cabra Library. The exhibition, Ludo, offered a unique world created out of paper and film, inspired by answers from 9-year -olds to questions about their lives for a survey called Growing Up In Ireland. The resulting piece was a complex video and object installation – a “multi-coloured topography”, Barry says, uniquely installed and built around the exhibition space of Cabra Library, comprised of origami structures, animation and optical illusions. See the installed exhibition below:
In 2019 a 2nd visual arts commission for Cabra Library, supported by Creative Ireland, curated by the LAB Gallery, was awarded to Barbara Knežević. This exhibition showcased exquisite examples of Amethyst from Uruguay to create a display inspired partly by the idea that for many centuries, humans have believed in the power of different objects, particularly crystals, to heal, and to wonder about why that might be. The Record Keepers was complemented by a comprehensive education programme, managed by Superprojects. You’ll find more on this commission below:
In 2022, curated by the RHA Gallery, a 3rd commission, this time for Ballyfermot Library, was awarded to Jane Locke. The interactive exhibition, The Lighthouse in the Library, was supported by a multidisciplinary team tasked to discover the mysterious origins and purpose of the lighthouse.

Commission
Dublin City Council, in collaboration with and curated by IMMA now invites submissions for its 4th Visual Arts Exhibition Commission to be created for children, schools and families, which will be located in the exhibition room in Cabra Library for approx 10 weeks April - June 2024
Cabra Library
https://www.dublincity.ie/residential/libraries/find-library/cabra-library
https://www.facebook.com/CabraLibrary/
Cabra library is located on the Navan Road ( on the northside of Dublin) and is one of the city’s larger branch libraries. The building houses the public library, administrative offices, mobile library headquarters and a bibliographic processing service . The Library has a strong children’s section, and both a separate exhibition room and a workshop room. It has well-developed relationships with local schools serving diverse populations, including the Deaf community.
Irish Museum of Modern Art
The Irish Museum of Modern Art presents itself as Ireland’s leading centre for the collection and presentation of artistic expression in Ireland and on the global stage. Rooted in its historic campus, IMMA has pioneered work in Engagement and Learning since its inception in 1991. The 2023- 2027 Strategic Plan: Building Global Connections indicates an organisation which innovates and strives for excellence and the opportunity to boldly imagine how we shape our creative future. This plan provides the impetus and continued momentum to realise our stated vision of being Ireland’s leading centre for the collection and presentation of Art. Our key objectives are: being a Radically Public Space, a Centre for Research and Innovation, a Global Connector and a Catalyst for Change. IMMA’s programmes provide a space for all generations and communities to engage with creativity, artistic thinking, and cultural meaning. Contemporary art is of our time and helps us understand the world we live in.
We look forward to working with the Creative Hub to curate newly commissioned work for children, supporting an artist to think about children as an audience for their work and to present this work in the radically public context of the children’s local library.
The Commission
Dublin City Council (Creative Hubs initiative) , in collaboration with IMMA, seeks to commission an engaging Visual Arts Exhibition for children that will stimulate both their curiosity and imagination and meets the following:
1. Provide children (both within and outside of school contexts) with a quality experience of Visual Arts.
2. Take cognisance of the library setting and the location of Cabra.
3. Be appropriately cognisant of the needs, interests, real or imaginative lives of the target age group attending the Visual Arts Exhibition. (The age group identified can be jointly agreed between the Arts Office/IMMA and the commission recipient(s) but must be under 12 years of age.
4. Be innovative in its approach and utilise the resources of its surroundings to deliver a quality artistic experience to its audience.
Please note: the successful artist will be supported by Arts Office and Library staff during their research phase, as required.
5. As part of the award, the successful candidate(s) will be expected to contribute to and help inform an engaging exhibition education and learning programme.
The Visual Art Exhibition Commission Award of €8500 for research and delivery of commissioned works for exhibition April – June 2024
Technical support for installation will be provided with by IMMA.
