Since April 2000 Limerick Printmakers have run a full program of exhibitions in the gallery space. The concept is to provide opportunities for all types of artists, emerging as well as more established, to exhibit work. Printmaking, painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture and installation work as well as performance art have all been shown in the gallery.

Artists are not charged for the use of the space and to date the main cost of the exhibition has been the responsibility of the artists themselves. Some of the financial costs are now covered by the gallery.

Limerick Printmakers provides support in various different non-monetary ways, such as providing mailing lists, contact numbers, contacts for potential sponsors, discounts on wine, publicity and promotion, hanging of work, general office work. Commission on sales of artwork is kept to a low of 30%.

Limerick Printmakers are currently accepting submissions for the 2009 period. The closing date for 2009 applications for exhibitions is 27th June 2008.

This submission is open for artists working in any medium and can be for group, joint or solo exhibitions. Artists are invited to post the following to the gallery on cd (jpegs) or in hard copy (please note that applications submitted by email will not be accepted):
