DÚN LAOGHAIRE EVENTS

ArtNetdlr is submitting a proposal to Dun Laoghaire – Rathdown county council for use of the Carnegie Library Building on George’s Street as Creative Hub/Arts Centre, focusing on the coalescence of artistic excellence and social impact, offering an accessible public space that will enrich Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown.

Our Speakers:

DAVID McWILLIAMS is an economist, author, journalist, documentary-maker and broadcaster, Adjunct Professor of Global Economics at the School of Business Trinity College Dublin, and ranked 10th most influential economist in the world.

ROISIN HOGAN from ArtNetdlr will outline our objectives in a short presentation followed by a Fun 20X20 Raffle.

20X20

Over 40 writers, artists, musicians, broadcasters (and even a fishmonger) have created something on a 20cmx20cm canvas in support of ArtNetdlr Carnegie Proposal. Participants include PAT KENNY, DONALD TESKEY, CHARLIE TYRELL, GWEN O’DOWD, JULIE PARSONS, KATE MACDONAGH, JUDY CAROLL DEELY, MARY O’CONNOR, PATRICK MOLLOY, LOUISE NEILAND, GAVIN FRIDAY, ANNE ENRIGHT, HUGH HAMILTON, MARY LOHAN, KEVIN GODLEY, BARRY DEVLIN, PETER CAVISTON, CYRIL BYRNE, GARY COYLE, CARMEL BENSON, PATRICK GRAHAM and so many others.

You can own one of these canvases and also support ArtNetdlr initiative. All you have to do is purchase a ticket for €50 and you are guaranteed to get one, but you won’t know which one just yet… it’s pot luck. Tickets can be bought at Cali Kitchen.

The 20×20 canvases will be on display in CALI KITCHEN (in the grounds of the Royal Marine Hotel) Monday 10th – Friday 14th February. Open 10am – 4pm.

All will be revealed on 19th February in the National Maritime Museum of Ireland and the draw for each piece will take place during the evening, you might enjoy trying to match the canvases with the names on the list over a glass of wine.

This event is sponsored by Smith Kennedy Architects.
