Y21 Studios is a privately managed space that aims to inspire creativity, connection, and integration in the local community. Located in the heart of Enniscorthy, the studio offers a variety of facilities and services that cater to artists, educators, and community groups of all backgrounds.

Y21 Studios is the brainchild of Czech-born artist and photographer Kristyna Simkova, who has brought her vision to life with the help of Conor Gibson, a rising star of the Irish street art scene. Conor’s involvement marks an exciting chapter in Enniscorthy’s growing arts culture, and his expertise will undoubtedly contribute to the studio’s success.
The studio’s facilities include a dedicated hire space for art classes, workshops, creative meet-ups, and children’s parties, as well as its own ‘Body & Soul’ Studios, which offers pilates, yoga, and meditation classes.
