| Location And Getting There |
Art Upstairs is located at 89 North Main Street Wexford, Ireland. Once you are in Wexford you will easily find The Bullring with its statue of a “pikeman”; from here head along North Main Street (1 minute walk if you go slowly!) until you get to Shaws. We are directly opposite - upstairs between Oxfam & Mackin Travel.
Our Rosslare Gallery is on Strand Road in the heart of the village - just keep your eyes open and you can not miss us!
