Common Ground

Common Ground is an arts organisation working since 1999 with artists and communities. Their rich and imaginative programmes build ways to address local and global issues through the unifying and transformative power of the arts. Their work challenges how access to the arts should not depend on where you’re born, your wealth or identity.

In 2003 they opened studio 468, an artist studio based in St Andrews Community Centre, Rialto. It offers opportunities for artists and local groups to work collaboratively while supporting artists developing their socially engaged practice.

In September 2019 they became the cultural tenants at The Lodge, Inchicore – the old caretakers house at Goldenbridge Cemetery. The Lodge houses their staff and artist(s) in residence and provides a meeting space for the artists and groups with work with.
