What is HALFTONE

HALFTONE is an initiative by PhotoIreland hosted every year at The Library Project. The fair brings together a large selection of works by established and emerging artists, showcasing Ireland’s exciting contemporary art scene. Visitors can enjoy a diverse selection of artworks from many disciplines and practices, including etchings, intaglios, reliefs, screenprints, monotypes, risographs, photographs, and more!

With your help, PhotoIreland has raised almost €100.000 for artists through HALFTONE since 2015, supporting and promoting the practice of over 800 participating artists to date, shipping their work internationally, and contributing to public and private collections.
