*B & A
- An annual award winning commission started in 1988 between the Graphic Studio Dublin and Behaviour & Attitudes,(B & A) an Irish marketing company and have won a number of collaboration awards since this series of print commissions started. Each year an artist is selected from the Studio or Visiting Artists Programme to make a print or series of prints. B & A gift their clent base with this original print. In recent years the number of prints has risen to seven hundred and fifty.
*Sponsors Portfolio
- Graphic Studio Dublin published Sponsors Portfolios during 1960's to 1980's. These usually consisted of six prints presented in a portfolio and in later years a published poem was also added. These works were produced to raise funds for the running of the studio and were a great success. The artists donated the prints.
- The studio is relaunching the Sponsors' Portfolios as part of our 50th anniversary 2010. We will be publishing ten portfolios over ten years, (one per year). Each year there will be an edition of 75 bespoke folders each of which will contain four prints and one commissioned piece of writing.
