Harold be thy name : Imagine if God came down to Stoneybatter for a day and listened to the reflections of an old Dub? Imagine further that this was not the uber-perfect, profound God we expect but a much more humanised, doubting God?

Little Gem: One of the lesser-publicised, but no less valid, arts in Dublin 15 is the traditional art of jewellery making. Whereas fine arts and performing arts tend to garner all the headlines, some people have the idea that ancient crafts continue to labour along in the shadows, seemingly practiced by a few die-hard Luddites.

Rain: Just as Draíocht is committed to providing high quality for all ages, so Spréacha, the children’s festival, is always careful not to exclude the very, very young from its schedule.

Boxes wanted: On the last weekend in June, Draíocht’s main auditorium will be transformed into a giant indoor city, courtesy of a horde of small children using cardboard boxes as their raw material.

Books for the housebound: Fingal Housebound Library Service was formally established in 2001 as part of a commitment to equality of access for all. In particular, it was designed to cater for those who for reasons of age, incapacity or illness are unable to leave home, hospital or other care facilities to access a public library in Fingal.

Davy awards at Farmleigh: The opening of Farmleigh’s Gallery is a sure sign for art lovers that summer is once again upon us.

The stage is set: As the incredibly talented young people of Stagezone Theatre School complete their ninth year, all the focus is naturally on the end of year extravaganza for which this company has become renowned.

Summer Footprints: For the fifth consecutive summer, Footprints Dance Academy’s summer camp will be instructing children in the myriad forms of dance available, from ballet and creative dance to musical theatre and hip hop.

And Briefly..... : A roundup of Arts events in Dublin 15 and beyond.
