Dublin Sketchers Club Exhibition
Sol Art Gallery 

June 11th-17th

On the 11th of June the Sol Art Gallery on Dawson Street will premiere a

 special exhibition entitled 'Dublin Sketchers: Drawing a Crowd'. Done

 in conjunction with the city-wide celebrations for Bloomsday, the exhibition brings

 together the work of 23 Dublin based artists in a single collection as the Dublin

 Sketchers group show never before seen works created in a variety of mediums.

 Running daily from 11th-17th June, the exhibition introduces the work of a wide

 variety of artists who operate around the Dublin area. 

The show's theme is inspired by the weekly outings of Dublin Sketchers.

 Founded in early 2008, Dublin Sketchers has grown to become a significant

 group of passionate artists based in the capital. Each week, the members visit

 different locations in the Dublin area including galleries, museums, parks and 

outdoor spaces. Participating artists provide their own sketchpads, drawing

 equipment and imaginations but the rest is free. This packed

exhibition features some unique work built up over the past two years 

which is unlikely to be shown under the same roof again. Indeed, the sheer

 diversity of the work and artists involved will guarantee that there is something

 which appeals to everyone.

 Official Opening 6pm-9.30pm on June 11th.

May 9th,2010. The Natural History Museum.

The Sketchers went to the newly re-opened Dead Zoo in Merrion Square. There was a great turnout of young children, and they appeared to thoroughly enjoy the exhibits.

I went upstairs to the Sea bird section as it was a bit too crowded downstairs in the Irish section. I may go again during the week, when it may be a bit calmer!
