Sunday 4th August 2025

On Sunday,  the 4th August Dublin Sketchers will sketch around Parnell Square from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in Maldron Hotel, Parnell Square.  There will be an arts festival on run by Hugh Lane.  Art and the Outdoors

Also note that Hugh Lane will be closing for 3 years at the end of September for renovations and some of the paintings have already been moved out so if you choose to sketch inside Hugh Lane, there are parts that may be closed and also that it may be your last time to sketch inside thebuilding for a while.


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! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc


From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at Maldron Hotel, Parnell Square.A bunch of

sketchers will magically appear.


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
