Sunday 21 November - Olivier Cornet Gallery

On Sunday 21st November, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at the Olivier Cornet Gallery from 2pm. 

It is located at 3 Great Denmark Street in the Parnell Square Cultural Quarter. Nearby you will find the Hugh Lane Gallery and the Garden of Remembrance.

We will have access to the main exhibition area and the storage room beside it, as well as entrance hall and stairs.

The current exhibition is "Interlocked" a solo show by Annika Berglund.

No water media inside the gallery please.

Olivier will only be able to accommodate 10 sketchers in the gallery itself, and 5 or 6 in the hall and on the stairs. Visitors will be asked to show their Covid Pass and will be expected to wear their mask.

If you prefer, the Hugh Lane Gallery is just around the corner, and if you want to sketch outdoors, there are many options, including the Garden of Remembrance.

If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at your arrival, 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 when we get together at 4pm. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.

Rather than meeting in a pub or coffee shop, we'll gather outdoors to catch up and check out each other's work. At 4pm, we'll meet at the Garden of Remembrance.  In case of rain, there are plenty of cafés nearby. Please keep in mind current government guidelines on Covid.

 

 

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're on Instagram, use #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers.  

 

See you there!

Sunday 12 April - Virtual Sketchwalk from GPO to Garden of Remembrance

This Easter Sunday 12th April we will be sketching from the safety of our own homes. Using Google maps in and around The Garden of Remembrance and/or, to the GPO. 

We do not usually sketch on Easter Sunday but it would be a positive experience to remember all those who have gone before us and who are fighting for life in these unprecedented times. 

We will start approx 2pm and finish at 4pm. Don't worry if you're late - it's Sunday after all!

We will meet at 4pm on Zoom. We will check out each other's sketches. Bring your own refreshments. 

You will need a password to join the meeting. You will find this password on the What's App group "Dublin Sketchers" if you are a member or email dublinsketchers@gmail.com before noon / 12pm on Sunday to ask for the password.
