A recent project is a new small project art space called ‘The Kiosk’

‘The Kiosk’ is a pop-up gallery and project space at the corner of Barlow House on Narrow West Street, Drogheda.
The aim of ‘The Kiosk’ will be to provide a cross-disciplinary programme that showcases and supports the work of artists and groups at any stage of their career, by invitation or open call ,cultivating a creative and supportive environment with an artist-led approach.
The physical space of The Kiosk although tiny ( I mean tiny!!!! ) is versatile and adaptable, providing a dynamic setting that can accommodate temporary exhibitions, projects and events. Supported by Droichead arts Centre

‘thirtythree-45’ works independently, in partnership and in collaboration.
