2026, accelerating on

As we move into February, the New Irish Art online community has never been busier. We are delighted to report a record breaking surge in online engagement with our artists' portfolio presentations being discovered by visitors from across the globe. This spike in participation confirms a hunger for art that exists purely for its own sake. Seeing our community evolve into a vibrant, global dialogue freed from commercial bindings is the most rewarding success we could have imagined.

Your support has been our core motivation and we are deeply grateful for your loyalty and your belief in a space that values human creative freedom and open access over institutional approval. Our door remains open to visual artists who wish to be part of a showcase for their work within a dedicated, supportive environment, your participation is always welcome.

This short note was crafted with the assistance of Gemini 3 Flash, an AI collaborator used strictly for administrative communication. While AI-generated visual art is not encouraged in this project the eagle eyed amongst you might notice some examples of such images on this platform, clearly marked and included to be so.

** New Irish Art is dedicated to engaging online audiences and encouraging participation in the arts.
