Awards
The Fire Station also commissions projects through its two annual Studio Awards.
The ‘Studio Award for an artist who works in a Community Context’ was initiated in 2002 and its aim is to support artists whose practice is collaborative / socially engaged. In 2008 the Fire Station in partnership with Arts and Disability Ireland (ADI) initiated the ‘Studio Award for an artist with a Disability’.
