<<<<<FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE>>>>>
O=  O=  THE 13th ANNUAL TOURNEY & SOCIAL 2025  =O  =O
RHA ATRIUM___TUESDAY 28th OCTOBER___5pm ’til VICTORY!

Serving to Ireland’s art community since 2012!

KPP is Ireland’s only inter-organisational tourney for the visual arts, where we cheers and cheer, clinking a beverage with one hand while swatting a small white ball away with the other.

King Ping Pong started in Monster Truck in 2012 as one in a series of events in the Minimum/Maximum after-hours programme.  It was such a success, that myself and Monster Truck director Peter Prendergast decided to run it yearly.  All are welcome, but participation in the tournament is only open to visual arts workers of any kind.  Over the years, pretty much every organisation in Dublin and beyond have fielded players.  Paul McGrane was co-organiser 2021-23.

There have been two exhibitions of the krazy tables that are spawned by King Ping Pong, in the Complex, Dublin, 2022 and Crawford Art Gallery, 2024.
