Ellen O’Connor is a curator and producer from Co. Louth. She builds responsive frameworks for inquisitive artistic exchange and career support. Often developing projects that unfold across online and physical spaces, her work interlaces themes of correspondence, rehearsal and duality. 

She is founder and co-director of Screen Service, an organisation producing experimental and connective projects for artists in Ireland since 2022. Outputs include The Collision Project, a process-led artist exchange now in its 2026 iteration. Organisation and project partners have included Sirius Arts Centre (Cork), Starling (Limerick), Beta Festival (Dublin) and over fifty participating artists. Additionally, she has curated screening programmes for The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), Dublin, in 2026 and for The Abbey Arts Centre, Donegal in 2025. She curated a retrospective and catalogue commission of artist John O'Connor for An Táin Arts Centre, Louth in 2024. Her awards include the Arts Council (Project and Agility) Donegal County Council, Creative Ireland and Rethink Ireland.

In 2026, she is curating Dear Sister, an online exhibition of written correspondence with artist Chloe Brenan, produced by Screen Service. The project re-imagines the epistolary mode in a screen format, drawing on legacies of mail and early net art as sites of intimacy and resistance across time.
