On Sunday the 14th August we will be going to, Dubh Linn Gardens in Dublin Castle for outdoor Shakespeare at Irish Monuments: http://fortunesfoolproductions.ie

This is a completely free event, seating is picnic style so bring a blanket or tarp (chairs are not provided). You do not need tickets or reservations. Seating is general admission and begins 30 minutes before show times. If Shakespeare isn’t your thing there are lots of interesting squares and back streets within the Dublin Castle walls and if the weather turns bad there is of course our old favourite the Chester Beatty Museum full of treasures.

The starting point will be 2pm outside the front door of the Chester Beatty Museum. Don’t panic if you can’t find anyone to start with, we are not known for our punctuality. Just choose something to draw and get stuck in but keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. New people come along almost every week so don't be shy about introducing yourself. It's a nice friendly gathering and you'll get know us over coffee 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 in the Parliament Hotel on Dame Street to check out each other's work (formerly and better known as the Arlington, exit Dublin Castle Main gate and look up the hill to the left) Location: http://www.parliamenthotel.ie/location.htm

A bunch of people who look like sketchers will magically appear.

Hope to see you there!

Sunday, 31st July - 'Hotter Than July' at Smithfield Square, D7

Hello Sketchers,

This Sunday, the 31^st  July, we go around the World. There is the ‘Hotter Than July’ world music festival at Smithfield Square. So I suggest to meet here at 2pm. The festival is free… and it goas on from 3 to 9, but I am sure there will be plenty of activity to sketch from 2pm.

To pinpoint a meeting place, let’s meet at the Generator Hostel at 2pm and later we can have our get together here again from 4pm.

You can see some info about the festival here: http://entertainment.ie/show-Dublin/Smithfield-Square/Hotter-Than-July/Music-2775823.htm

… and on facebook…

We are an informal gathering who meet every Sunday to share our love of sketching. We have fun exploring interesting places and events around Dublin. We always visit places that are free of charge and accessible by public transport. (You're welcome to suggest a location yourself if you want.)

New people come along almost every week so don't be shy about introducing yourself. It's a nice friendly gathering and you'll get know us over coffee. Just have a sketch pad in your hand at 2pm and we'll spot you! (You need to bring your own drawing materials.)

See you there,

Dublin Sketchers

Sunday, 24th July - IMMA at Kilmainham

Hello Sketchers,

This Sunday, the 24^th July, we go to the IMMA / Irish Museum of Modern Art.

There is a chance it will rain – in this case the museum interiors and the multitude of different exhibitions can offer some points of interest… In case the weather permits, the museum garden is a great place to be.

For information about the museum and exhibitions, see http://www.imma.ie/en/index.htm

We will draw and paint away from 2pm. We will meet at the Gallery Café at 4pm and have a chat, some nibbles and look at each other's work.

We are an informal gathering who meet every Sunday to share our love of sketching. We have fun exploring interesting places and events around Dublin. We always visit places that are free of charge and accessible by public transport. (You're welcome to suggest a location yourself if you want.)

Looking forward to seeing you at the weekend or in the near future.

See you there,
