An Chéad Tine Art Gallery

An Chéad Tine Art Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Kilkenny. It is run by a dedicated group of professional creatives who generously volunteer their time to maintain this vibrant exhibition space. The gallery was established to meet the growing demand for high-quality exhibition space in Kilkenny City, providing opportunities for both emerging and established artists.​

​

Throughout the year, An Chéad Tine Art Gallery will host a diverse range of solo and group exhibitions, carefully selected by an external panel of industry professionals. Our mission is to support artists by offering them a unique platform to showcase their work in a professional and welcoming setting.

A Prime Location for Art in Kilkenny

Situated prominently on the mezzanine floor of Dunnes Stores, Kieran Street, Kilkenny, the gallery benefits from high footfall. It introduces contemporary art to a wider audience in a relaxed and accessible environment. This setting ensures that art is brought directly to the community, fostering engagement and appreciation for creativity.

​

We extend our sincere gratitude to our dedicated volunteers and Dunnes Stores for their generous donation of this space, making An Chéad Tine Art Gallery a key cultural hub in Kilkenny's thriving art scene.
