Inspiration and Legacy exhibition Five Lamps Arts Festival 2024

Inspiration and Legacy is a captivating group exhibition that examines the profound influence and enduring legacy of life in north inner city Dublin on the work of eight artists. Dublin’s north inner city is the vibrant, multicultural, cosmopolitan, diverse, inclusive, and at times challenging centre of the city. It can be described as the beating heart of Dublin. 

Home to a rich tapestry of cultural icons, like Bram Stoker, Brendan Behan, Luke Kelly and actor Barry Keoghan, the north inner city has nurtured creativity and innovation for generations, contributing to its vibrant cultural heritage. Bringing together this collection of works is an opportunity to celebrate the creatives that have chosen Dublin’s north inner city to work, live and embrace its ever-changing landscape.

This exhibition features multi-platform artworks, exploring themes of urban life, identity, hope, and transformation. Curated by Kris McGuirk in partnership with the Five Lamps Arts Festival 2024, it features: John Aboud, Aidan Bradley, Joe Coveney & John O'Connell, Lucia de Nile, Trina Mahon, Joe Moran, Carole Nelson, and Peter Pearson.

The exhibition runs 15-26 April 2024, Monday – Friday, 10:00-16:00.
