SPACECRAFT BACKGROUND

spacecraft is an affordable, non-profit contemporary art studio in Limerick City. It was set up in 2017 by graduates of Limerick School of Art and Design and is centrally located beside the Milk Market. The space facilitates eight artists working in a variety of disciplines in an our studio space, with the adjoining units as an open plan project space and is specifically aimed at emerging artists.

The goals of spacecraft are to facilitate artists in Limerick City by providing studio space, and additional opportunities to engage with the city’s arts community. Through the creation of common resources, both artistic and otherwise, we hope to create a space which is conducive to shared responsibility and communication between members and thus may facilitate artists with the skills and confidence to initiate their own projects beyond the studio.

spacecraft is an artist-run organisation with an artist-led Board of Directors. Our current members work in a variety of disciplines including sculpture, photography, painting, performance, installation, printmaking and new media.
