Wexart 10 is an artist led initiative, which seeks to set up an exhibition and studio space in Wexford Town. Its main aims and goals are to:
- Establish a safe space for art practitioners – artist, writers, and curators – and provide a platform for experimental new art forms that are not normally represented by more established or commercial galleries.
- To create a dynamic space that is collectively run by and for the artists but also accessible to the public.
- To help promote art making as a valuable tool for community and social development. To set up an outreach programme to engage in community and social projects. i.e.: working on educational and other projects with local community groups and develop workshops around these goals.
- To offer a space for new emerging artist here in Wexford and give them an opportunity to established themselves in a real world working environment.
