MORE than 30 aspiring artists from the north and south inner city will see their art work displayed in Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane as part of a Dublin Port Company project.
Drawing Clubs were held with five community groups in recent months as part of Port Perspectives, Dublin Port’s arts commissioning series for 2017.
It is aimed at strengthening the bond between Dublin Port and the city and bringing the port to new audiences through the arts. Sketches, watercolours, pastels and collages capturing images and memories from life at Dublin Port were created by young and old during the series of workshops across the capital. The artists ranged in age from as young as 11 to almost 80-years-old.
Two of the Drawing Clubs were held at Sean O’Casey Community Centre, East Wall, with artist Liz Smith and East Wall Youth Club, with artist Janine Davidson.
The exhibition will be open to the public until July 16. Opening times: Tuesday to Thursday 9.45am–6pm; Friday 9.45am–5pm; Saturday 10am–5pm; Sunday 11am–5pm. Closed Mondays. Admission is free of charge.
