Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir which is presented by the Arts Council of Ireland, celebrates the richness and diversity of Culture in Ireland today, connecting people to cultural activities locally and nationally and aims to open up pathways to ongoing engagement.
This annual, all-island public, free, event takes place each year on the third Friday of September. Last year Culture Night had to switch to virtual event in light of Covid-19 restrictions. We are delighted to welcome it back in person events along with a mix of digital events for this year’s programme in over 200 participating venues across the nation.
To find out what’s on view the programme of events here.
With so much going on, we thought we would highlight some of the events taking place within a short walk of Camden Court Hotel.

Atelier Now welcomes you to an evening of contemporary art launching a new exhibition by artists Stephen Burke and Ronan Dillon. The artists explore themes of freedom, human and animal vandalism, and speed. While the parallels between city and country are familiar to many, Stephen and Ronan’s novel observations offer a fresh perspective to viewers. With this new work, the artists strive to dialogue and decipher the similarities and differences between both styles of mark making and the narratives associated with each place.
Atelier Now is a public gallery located on Charlemont Street in the heart of Dublin city. Founded in 2018 by Maser, Atelier Now brings a fresh approach to creative programming, an openness to artists and a clear vision towards the future
Time: 6pm - 9pm
