The group has charitable status and works on its own initiative. For obvious reasons, and because walkabout tours of the murals can last up to an hour, groups of five or more are preferred but any individual can drop in on a talk at the studio.

Talks are from 11am to 5pm continuous. Tours are from 12pm to 1pm and from 3pm to 4pm. These invariably include a visit to the studio and gallery.

All are welcome! For most who have come to us, the visit has been the highlight of their holiday to Ireland. We look forward to seeing you!

THE STUDIO AND ITS LOCATION

THE BOGSIDE ARTISTS' STUDIO and GALLERY is situated within a few yards of the murals themselves, directly behind the famous Bogside Inn, in the heart of The Bogside.  There, the artists conduct their workshops, design their murals and meet with visitors who are interested in their work. They talk about their lives and experiences and present their work in the form of slides, documentaries and a DVD. Question time is fun all by itself!

The studio is an extremely comfortable and well-equipped space with seating accommodation for over sixty people. The talks and presentations can be as short or as long as you wish. The artists are always happy to meet with visitors as well as providing him or her with much needed advice on what the city has to offer. Thousands of visitors visit the studio each year. You would be advised therefore to contact us directly.
