Reintroduced in 2025, the Art Team is one of the Federation’s most prestigious initiatives, designed to showcase innovation, elevate standards and inspire the wider industry.

 

Art Team is selected through a highly competitive live judging process, recognising exceptional creativity, technical ability and professional vision.

 

The IHF Art Team 2025 consists of five outstanding stylists, selected from across Ireland, and led by Artistic Director Stephen Kelly.

 

Together, the team is developing an original photographic and educational collection that will be showcased throughout 2026.
