How can I sell my work in your shop?

Can you look at my work? Can you help with my portfolio?
Yes, please have a look at the PhotoIreland services page and find the right fit for your needs.

How can I apply for a position?

January and September
The Library Project presents itself as a gallery every year during January and September and purchases are only available online. In this way, we accommodate the two annual exhibitions by the Black Church Print Studio members. 

The opening hours vary during these two months and will be published on our News section of the website at that time.

How can I be published as part of your TLP Edition series?
We have an open call for these. Please keep an eye on the opportunities page in PhotoIreland, subscribe to our newsletter, follow our social media, and as always, keep us informed of your practice.
