Admission is free, with opening hours Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 5pm, and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

PopUpArt Newbridge was founded by local landscape artist Eilis Kavanagh in 2018 and has since become a key part of the county's visual arts scene.

The initiative aims to promote Kildare-connected artists by providing exhibition opportunities across all genres and levels of experience.

With over 300 artists featured to date, PopUpArt Newbridge continues to grow both physically and virtually.
