There will seven-day opening in the final two weeks before Christmas.
The shop will showcase the work of over 35 local artists and makers, offering an inspiring array of art and handmade gifts — from original paintings and prints to ceramics, textiles, jewellery, photography, crafts and more. With prices starting from just €5, visitors will find something special for every taste and budget, making it the perfect opportunity to pick up unique, locally made Christmas presents.
“This is a chance to celebrate the incredible creative talent we have right here in North Tipperary,” says a NTAC spokesperson. “Our members are passionate about their work and thrilled to share it with the community this festive season.”
Founded to support and connect artists across North Tipperary, NTAC has grown into a vibrant and inclusive collective. Its members range from emerging creators to established professionals, united by a shared commitment to bringing art into the heart of the community.
Visitors can expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a rich variety of original pieces that capture the spirit of the region — thoughtful, handmade, and full of heart.
The pop-up shop also offers something more than beautiful gifts: it’s a chance for the Nenagh community and surrounding areas to come together in support of local creativity, sustainability, and the joy of giving art. We are delighted to follow through on our very successful Art Pop-up last year and would like to thank the proprietors of Aneva for their continued support.
Whether you’re hunting for a one-of-a-kind present or simply want to soak up the festive cheer, NTAC’s Christmas pop-up is a must-visit stop on your holiday calendar. We look forward to your visit and also encourage our local art students and their teachers to visit. Artists will be available to meet and chat, an opportunity to educate, browse and shop.
