Iconic and acclaimed artist Maser AKA Al Hester, responsible for the infamous Repeal the 8th mural at the Project Arts Theatre, is opening his own gallery space in the city next week.
Atelier Maser on Charlemont Stwill be a hub for for creating original work and nurturing young talent - great news for up-and-coming artists looking to showcase their work.
The gallery will be open plan, and passersby may even catch a glimpse of the acclaimed artist at work from Charlemont St.
Maser is a dedicated mentor to many of Ireland’s emerging talent, and is already filling the Atelier’s events calendar with shows and exhibitions to promote their work.
“I get excited when I see promising talent and want to show young artists that success comes in many forms, and to ultimately help them achieve that success.”
Reflecting on this new venture, it became obvious that while he needed a space to call his own, it was equally important to him to create a space that gives something back to the community he champions. “I could just open a studio and paint but I have bigger ambitions, I want to show people that you don’t need a business degree to do well and be a success.”

(and Always) It’s never been more vital to support Queer-Owned Spaces in Dublin. Put your money where your morals are as often as you can. As someone who has worked in hospitality, I know that the people who run our bars, restaurants, and cafés shape the atmosphere more than the decor or the playlist ever […]

Pancakes are one of the few universal foodstuffs. Almost every culture has its own variation, and at their core, they are simple: batter, heat, and a little patience. Somehow, somewhere along the line, we let things go sideways. We let the sugar merchants win. We allowed pancakes to be hijacked by syrup-swamped, powdered-sugar-dusted, fruit-laden monstrosities.

These Christmassy pubs are basically Santa’s living room right now December’s here, and all of our favourite watering holes have been dusting off Mariah Carey, unearthing their Christmas jumpers, and hurling baubles at every available surface. Which means it’s officially time to ditch the sensible pints and dive headfirst into mulled wine, fairy lights, and […]
Narrowing this list down was hungry work There are a lot of burger offerings in this city, but many of them aren’t up to scratch, or fall flat by not serving the far superior smash burger. We’ve lost a ton of great burger joints as well, from The Counter, to Mosh Burger, to Heisenburger (which […]
