about

SOMA Contemporary Art Box is a space for new and exciting art in Waterford city. Conceived and run by artists, the space is a place for people to congregate, show and see new and up-coming artists and their work. The space is located on Lombard street(the old taxation office) in the heart of Waterford city. It is an exciting space and we hope that exhibiting artists find the building become part of the works they create in it.The space consists of three gallery spaces, a media/video room and a courtyard/garden area. We encourage openness in all manners of art forms and hope to bring to Waterford never before seen artists, along with enabling the rich talent of artists living in the city to show their work. Our main aim is to make art accessible to everyone and allow it to be thought provoking, engaging, exciting, loud and quiet, but most of all, a fun and memorable place for both the viewers and the artists.
