About The Icon Factory
The Icon Factory is a unique, artist-led project based in the heart of Dublin's Temple Bar. Founded over a decade ago, it was established to celebrate and promote Irish cultural heritage through art. Unlike traditional tourist souvenirs, The Icon Factory offers a fresh perspective on Irish culture, featuring works by famous writers, musicians, and other cultural icons.
Purpose and Mission
The primary purpose of The Icon Factory is to provide a platform for artists to showcase their work without the burden of commission fees. It invites artists from all over the world to exhibit their art, focusing on themes related to Irish culture. By doing so, it creates an enriching experience for both artists and visitors, promoting a deeper understanding of Ireland's intellectual and artistic richness.
Exhibitions at The Icon Factory
Over the past decade, The Icon Factory has hosted numerous exhibitions that highlight the diverse and rich cultural tapestry of Ireland. These exhibitions have ranged from visual arts and photography to mixed media installations, all celebrating the essence of Irish creativity.
