‘Peoples Art’: Art on St, Stephens Green railings.

This is a ‘Gallery’ NOT to be missed. What a tremendous way to come up with an idea!  Actually, who would ever have thought - hey, why not use these railings as cash! Oh, artists paintings maybe…? Might work…about 20 years later, hey presto! Seriously, it’s a magical place to be on a sunny afternoon. Competition among artists …no, not really. The artists actually seem to know each other by their names! Some anyway. The event itself is on three times a year: June, August and next September 18, 19, 20 (2009)  This weekend’s dates: 21,22, 23 (apologies late post)

Just walk on by and absorb the view, oh, and the paintings too!

Check out the People’s Photography on the green also: On 26, 27 August. well worth the time I’m informed. Photography is  something I’ve been personally interested in for many years, but never managed to have a ‘calling’ if you like. There are some seriously talented photographers here: check out the link above and see for your self.

This is a really good way of seeing Dublin City Centre. The Artists are  wonderful and very helpful if you need any information about the paintings etc. Iv been to it many times, but, as regard exhibiting there..no way, just not my thing standing there all day. One thing is sure: you may come home a much richer person: financially and publicly! Quite a few artists are well known and paint professionally for a living - ie, Willie Redmond, Louise Mansfield.

(Appreciation goes to the kind people at: The Dublin Community Blog for the use of the photos)
