Lovely proprietor and quirky arts stuff! I've been a fan of the Jam Art Factory concept since 2014,…read morewhich is when I visited their flagship store when was in Dublin for my first visit, and the clever cheeky artwork drew me into their store en route to St Patrick's Cathedral. Since that first store was massively popular, it was very cool when I discovered they've now got a small outpost in the popular Temple Bar area, which saved me the trek to their original store. I came here twice, and found new fun, cool things to check out. The second time, there was actually a travel documentary crew filming and so mum & I headed out the door fairly quickly as didn't want to get in their way, what with it being a fairly small space. Definitely come and check out this store if clever, witty, cheeky sayings and artwork are your catnip! Yelp 95/ 2019

We approached the day with military precision, no one was to eat till 3pm, all money till that time was to go on clothes. So when 3pm rolled around we would head for Stephens Green top floor to eat and banish the crankiness. Then like an ingrained ritual we would walk over to the Green Gallery and spend time looking at all the paintings. I still do that whenever I get a chance to shop, it's located on the very top floor of the shopping centre and they are on display in a relaxed setting. Some are placed on the main corridor. They also do a framing service too.

The size of the painting ranges from small to signature pieces that would need quite large wallspace. What's most striking about the paintings at this gallery is how pleasing they are to the eye. I found myself liking almost everything sold there (a singularly unusual experience in a gallery) and it seemed to me that most of the paintings tended to be uplifting. These are the sort of paintings that you would like to see in your home. The staff too were friendly but not pushy and seemed happy to leave me wander around the various levels looking at the artwork without too much interference. At the same time they were happy to engage in discussing the work when I asked about it. Certainly if you are looking for buy some artwork for yourself or someone else and you have the budget for it, this would be a place to consider.

A six year old boy is a force of nature, they need only be in the same room with something delicate and tragedy can strike.

Concerns aside the gallery is small but manages to squeeze in a lot of pieces without feeling cluttered or crowded, the owner is friendly and instead of following us around like a fearful mother hen, he engaged junior and talked to him about the art, a brilliant tactic. This is a wee treasure in the very middle of Rathmines, total unexpected and well worth a visit.

Class Little Spot…read more Nestled away just across from the Victorian Fruit Market on Mary's Lane, there lies an oasis of arty fantabulousness. Up the stairs, past the ceramic leopard print dog, and the mini mahogany horses positioned dramatically against the white walls, you will arrive up into a maze of mini studios and offices. These little spaces have been taken over by various Dublin artists and creatives. Individual pods to work in, with access to the opinions and support of their peers, all for lower than normal rent. There is also a gallery / exhibition space which is changed regularly. The guys are launching a new publication called IMPRINT Zine - a full colour zine featuring over 20 artists' work, curated by Grainne Tynan and Eimear Tynan, two onsite artists. In case you're having trouble finding the spot, the Market Studios is a blue building on the corner of Halston St and Marys Lane opposite Georges Hill primary school and near the Victorian fruit market. The place is only open to the public on specific exhibition days, as far as I'm aware.
