TU Dublin Fine Art Students Shortlisted for RDS Awards

Published: 12 Oct, 2023

The 2023 RDS Visual Art Awards take place in the RDS Concert Hall from December 8th. Three of our Graduates have been shortlisted.   

The RDS Visual Art Awards is the most important platform for visual art graduates in Ireland. It provides a curated exhibition opportunity and a significant prize fund of over €35,000, as well as vital exposure for emerging visual artists as they move into early professional practice. 

The RDS Visual Art Awards offers the most comprehensive assessments of graduate work in Ireland undertaken on a thirty-two-county basis. The competitive process is transparent, highly regarded and harnesses the expertise of some of the best visual arts professionals working in Ireland. Inclusion in the exhibition has a proven positive impact on the accelerated career progression of young artists.

Over the last few months, a team of independent curators visited the BA and MA degree shows in 13 Irish art colleges, including TU Dublin.

The artists shortlisted from TU Dublin School of Art and Design are:
