Launch of New Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality at Sandycove, Dublin and a new exhibition: Landscapes of the Soul: Part One
Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality were delighted to open a new, intimate, multifunctional arts space at 30 Sandycove Road, Dublin, along with the launch taking place at 7-9pm on Friday, 5 September 2025. The Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality is a dual-purpose space serving as both a visual art gallery and a venue for live events. The centre is dedicated to professional arts practice and community engagement inspired by the arts for equality, human rights, diversity, democracy, and peace. It fosters a connected atmosphere, encouraging engagement between artists and audiences. The centre’s hybrid nature makes it ideal for artists working across disciplines and for organisations seeking to integrate different artforms under one roof. This adaptable set-up supports a wide range of practices, from visual and installation art to live performance, spoken word, professional art workshops, and community workshops.
We were delighted to launch the space with the opening of an exhibition, Landscapes of the Soul: Part One by artist Mary Moynihan. Landscapes of the Soul is a stunning multidisciplinary exhibition by artist Mary Moynihan featuring beautiful visual art, photography, poetry, and film, mapping physical landscapes of nature to landscapes of the soul, reflecting on ways to hold on to the courage to be who we truly are and to let ourselves shine. Landscapes of the Soul is the inaugural exhibition for the new Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality at 30 Sandycove Road, Dublin, A96V9P1.
