Dublin Sketchers Group

5th of October, The United Arts Club, 3 Fitzwilliam Street Upper.

On Sunday the 5th of October, Dublin Sketchers will sketch in The United Arts Club, 3 Fitzwilliam Street Upper, Dublin 2, D02 RR50 from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in the bar area (on the first floor).

The United Arts Club in Dublin was founded in 1907 as a gathering place for artists, writers, and intellectuals, many of whom were central to Ireland's cultural revival.

It became a meeting point for figures of the Irish Literary Revival such as W.B.Yeats, Lady Gregory, and John Millington Synge, alongside painters, musicians, and political thinkers.

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 on the first floor. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.

28th September, Glasnevin Cemetery\Botanical gardens

On Sunday the 28th of September, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at Glasnevin Cemetery, Finglas Rd, D11 XA32 from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in The Tolka House, 9a Glasnevin Hill, D09 VH02.

Glasnevin Cemetery is a large cemetery in Glasnevin, Dublin, Ireland which opened in 1832. It holds the graves and memorials of several notable figures, and has a museum. If anyone doesn’t feel like sketching in the graveyard, the Botanical Garden is just next door. You can always head there instead — and there are greenhouses where you can stay dry in case of rain (though the forecast looks good!).

From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at The Tolka House. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear. Photo credits : citydays.com

21st of September - St. Patrick's College, Maynooth

On Sunday the 21th of September, Dublin Sketchers will sketch in St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, co. Kildare, W23 NX63 from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in The Roost Maynooth, Main St.

Maynooth University has amazing architecture and lots of interesting spots to sketch. You can draw the main quad and the college building, or explore the historic graveyard, a small hidden botanical garden, or the view towards the university chapel.
You can get to Maynooth by commuter train from Connolly Station (via Drumcondra and Broombridge), or take bus 115 or C3. If there’s light rain, I’ve marked two arched walkways on the campus map — great sheltered spots with panoramic views of the college.

From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at The Roost Maynooth. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
