Our friendly volunteers will help you with all the information you needed to make sure you will enjoy the Festival in full!

Yes, it is free

Almost all the exhibitions and events programmed are free, so make sure to enjoy them. Check the full list of exhibitions, and the full list of events before you leave on route to the festival. Look at the Google map and plan those exhibitions or events that interest you, and make sure you note their locations and, most importantly, the opening hours. Make use of the handy Day by Day: a handy list of events is shown per day, so you can find out quickly what is on offer that day.

New Irish Works

A must see this year, New Irish Works, it brings together a selection of 25 Irish and Irish based photographers, underlining the diversity of practices that constitute contemporary Photography in Ireland. The exhibition states and celebrates the emergence of a new wave of artists, and it is accompanied by a dedicated publication. Planned as a multi-city experience, it is hosted at various locations in Dublin, Limerick, and Cork. Read about it, and see what is programmed.

The Summer Campus

We recommend you not to miss the Summer Campus that runs from the 11th to the 14th of July at Moxie Studios (Pembroke Row, Lad Lane, Dublin 2). A one day ticket for the Summer Campus is €5, and a 4 days tickst is €10. You can book your tickets online or at the venue on the day. The Summer Campus offers you a series of talks and exhibitions in a relaxed atmosfere, where you can browse through hundreds of books from the Book & Magazine Fair, join one of the many programmed talks, or grab some freshly made food from the kiosks in the food market. It was conceived as ‘a space to converse, reflect and create’, and the ideal place to meet people with similar interests.

Please note: all Summer Campus events are free for ticket holders, except Andy Adam’s talk and Cristina De Middel’s three days workshop – you need to book these. All other events are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Spaces may be limited in some cases, so arrive well ahead of time.

Know the city

While you will find a succinct map in the catalogue, we recommend you to have a good one at hand if you are not familiar with the cities. It is always a good idea to ask at one of the venues you are visiting for other venues nearby, so you can trails your way through the programme.

Apart from the PhotoIreland Festival 2013, there are loads of interesting and entertaining offerings in Dublin, Limerick and Cork. Click on a city below to display more information.
