Dublin City Council and Hugh Lane Gallery Bring Art to the Streets with ‘Art & the Outdoors’
Published on 1st August 2025
Art & The Outdoors is Hugh Lane Gallery’s annual community celebration taking place on the street on Parnell Square North in the heart of the city.
Now in its fifth year, Art and the Outdoors is inspired by artists who moved out of their studio to paint en plein air or out of doors. We are celebrating the creative potential of our surroundings, our city, and our streets on the doorstep of the Hugh Lane Gallery.
We have a fantastic line up of live music to enjoy out of doors, with the incredibly talented musicians Botanic String Quartet, Dermot Dunne and Ariel Hernandez, Lucie Azconaga and friends and Mariachi San Patricio.
We have art workshops including life drawing and printmaking led by our brilliant artists. We invite you to look around you and sketch what you see! Enjoy poetry bursts with Nell Regan, Catherine Ann Cullen, Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi and Ola Majekodunmi in collaboration with Poetry Ireland.
Our brilliant Street Spectacle will have everything from fabulous face painting to Balloon artist and more! There will be storytelling, quiet and sensory spaces, illustrated art talks and tours of our collection
Enter our free draws for a chance to win a Hugh Lane Goodie Bag, spot prizes and more! We encourage you to take the time to look around you and be inspired!
