Taproot Art

taproot_art is an experimental project founded in Dublin in November 2017 by Sophie Murphy. taproot_art sources contemporary art for appreciators, hosts benefit auctions in aid of pressing social issues, as well as ad-hoc exhibitions pertaining often to, but not strictly to, philosophical or avant-garde ideas. taproot_art was born out of a dual-root desire to a) educate spectators on abstract ideas through the gauze of a humorous, visual explosion, while promoting emerging and established contemporary artists in Ireland and beyond b) bring attention to pressing social issues through a medium that is both culturally and community oriented.
