Thursday December 17th, 2-9pm
Friday December 18th, 2-10pm (Canabrism performs 8.30 pm)
Saturday December 19th, 12pm-7pm

This end of year tradition is where we throw open the doors to every artist who fancies putting their work on the wall and see what happens! We provide a suitably lively holiday atmosphere with fairy lights, mulled wine, music, and Christmas films galore…

Artists: bring down your work during the designated times* and claim your spot on the wall- first come first serve. We don’t curate, we don’t take a commission – it’s totally up to you!

Everyone Else: Come down to the most unique Christmas Fair in Dublin that includes a massive variety of different work by different artists- from paintings, to jewelry, to toys, to much much more!

*Artists can bring work for inclusion on Wed Dec 16th from 2pm-8pm.
It MUST BE COLLECTED on Sunday Dec 20th between 12-7pm (after that we are no longer in the gallery and cannot take care of your work!)

Plus on FRIDAY DECEMBER 18th 8.30 pm Live Music by Canabrism
