Established in 1988, Kerlin Gallery is one of Dublin City's longest running contemporary art galleries and boasts international reputation. It presents exhibitions by Irish and international artists in a minimal space just off South Anne Street.

Spanning three decades, Kerlin Gallery’s programme has reflected significant trends in international contemporary art. Their exhibition programme changes every six to eight weeks and has presented artists including Sean Scully, Dorothy Cross, Liam Gillick, Willie Doherty, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Lawrence Weiner and Nathalie Du Pasquier.

Since 1996, Kerlin Gallery has been housed in a purpose built space, which was designed by the British minimalist architect John Pawson. Located on Anne’s Lane, just off South Anne Street and a stone’s throw from Grafton Street, it offers 3,600 square feet of exhibition space over two floors in the heart of Dublin City. The gallery is free to enter.
