This week, I was delighted to catch up with my colleague and friend Helena Tobin, Artistic Director here at South Tipp Arts Centre for a socially distanced cuppa, where we chatted about the exciting and varied programme that she has planned for the year ahead.

For obvious reasons, the programme has had to be rescheduled completely and we are very excited to finally be able to announce the schedule and details of what we can look forward to at STAC in the coming months.

Helena Tobin is an artist, curator, researcher and educator based in rural Co. Tipperary.

Helena became the Artistic Director of South Tipperary Arts Centre in March 2019. Prior to this appointment she was co-founder of SITEATION, an artists’ collective and project space in Dublin (2012-2014), was an invited artist in residence at the Kilkenny Arts Festival (2013) and has worked as assistant curator at the Fenton Gallery (2003-2009) during which time she was assistant editor and project co-coordinator on the publication ‘Representing Art in Ireland’, (2008). She has been a member of Ormond Studios, Dublin, and the Backwater Studios, Cork. Helena has also worked as a photography tutor and workshop facilitator. Her work has been exhibited throughout Ireland and is in the collections of the OPW and Cork Institute of Technology.
