This is the first edition of the "Dublin Me Arts" Arts Directory, which is an initiative of the Arts Focus Group, Dublin Community Forum. The directory provides an essential guide to cultural and arts groups in an ever-changing Dublin. The Directory offers a clear and user- friendly set of signposts to a rich and vibrant artistic tapestry in our city. There are ten sections, all of which are colour coded for easy use. Each group / event has been categorized under the section most relevant to its main pursuit. This will enable both citizen and visitor to locate a variety of activities and organisations in the capital. While every effort has been made to include as many groups as possible in this directory, it is hoped that those not listed will appear in the next edition. If your group / organization is not included in this first edition of "Dublin Me Arts", and wish to be included in the next edition, please download and fill in the application form |
