Common Ground is an arts organisation based in Dublin 8. Since 1999, it has progressed a diverse cultural model that embraces the challenging social and economic realities of our neighbourhood locations and continues to challenge and change how access to the arts should not depend on where you’re born, your wealth or identity. For 20 years it has built up on the ground arts development knowledge with and through local partnerships. At the same time it has led on and supported artists practice in communities of place and interest. Common Ground is the new cultural tenant of the Lodge located at Goldenbridge Cemetery, Inchicore.
