Our History
Plexa is an independent studio complex established by Barry Connolly in 2019. Born out of a growing lack of facilities for creatives in Dublin and a desire to build a flourishing creative community. We cater for a range of creatives and have hosted Graphic Designers, Illustrators, Fine artists, Photographers, Jewellery Makers amongst others.
My experience of working as an artist in Plexa has been great. This is largely due to the Manager’s ability to provide a professional and healthy atmosphere for creativity to flourish – it is clean, with good windows and daylight bulbs provided, as well as wifi, heating and hot water. The plants and coffee space give it an inviting feel and security is strong so work and materials feel safe. I have found the tone set here to be friendly, approachable and respectful of others.

I really enjoyed learning the basics of Ableton with Barry. He gave me so many tips about music production. I liked the fact that he built the lessons in accordance with the type of music I wanted to make! I definitely recommend him.

Plexa Studio provides excellent semiprivate spaces for artists/creatives. The studio manager is highly professional and also welcoming, making an environment that supports creative exploration, growth and community. The space itself has a clever layout and has nice personal touches like indoor plants! I highly recommend this space to any artist who is looking for a studio in the center of Dublin.
