Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.
Sunday 17th September 2023 - George’s Street Arcade
On 17th of September, Dublin sketchers will be sketching around George’s Street Arcade from 2pm. Artists will then meet at The Long Hall (51 South Great George's Street, Dublin 2, D02 DV74) from 4pm to show each other their sketches.
George’s Street Arcade opened as South City Markets in 1881. It is a Victorian style red-bricked indoor market of stalls and stores with a unique atmosphere. It is a great place to sketch people as there are several cafés inside. The red brick exterior is stunning and also offers many sketching opportunities.
If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose something to sketch and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. It's a friendly crowd who you’ll get to know over a drink from 4pm. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! Please bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.
If you would like your sketch to be added to the website, email it to dublinsketchers@gmail.com or post it to the Dublin Sketchers Social WhatsApp group if you are on that. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website. If you are
posting your sketch on Instagram please #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers.
Hope to see you there!
Sketches from in and around Heuston Station beside the River Liffey, on Sunday Sept.10th 2023.
Sunday 10th September 2023 - Heuston station
On Sunday 10th of September, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at Heuston station from 2pm and meet for drinks at The Galway Hooker Bar (located inside the train station) from 4pm.
Heuston station is a busy train station with an interesting architecture. The station opened in 1846 as Kingsbridge station and was renamed Heuston station in 1966 in honour of Seán Heuston, one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. The passenger terminal and buildings were built to designs by London-born architect Sancton Wood and the train sheds and infrastructure were designed by Irish-born railway engineer John MacNeill.
Heuston station is a nice indoor location for a rainy day. There are several cafés and a lot of opportunities to sketch people. Seán Heuston Bridge located nearby is also worth sketching.
