Published: 12 Dec, 2023

Congratulations to three of our Fine Art Graduates who were shortlisted for the RDS Awards and for their exhibition at IMMA.

The RDS Visual Art Awards is the most important platform for visual art graduates in Ireland. It provides a curated exhibition opportunity and a significant prize fund of over €35,000, as well as vital exposure for emerging visual artists as they move into early professional practice. The 2023 RDS Visual Art Awards exhibition will run at IMMA from 8 December 2023 to 3 March 2024.
One TU Dublin Graduate won the R.C. Lewis-Crosby Award award, BA Fine Art Graduate Oisin Tozer. Oisín graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from the School of Art and Design in 2023. He is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice draws upon materials, media and mechanisms to investigate our understanding of and relationship with ecology.
