The Five Lamps Arts Festival 2023

The 16th Five Lamps Arts Festival is kicking things off on the 13th of March with a jam-packed schedule ending on the 2nd of April. These three weeks of fun will celebrate all things art, culture, diversity, and inclusion.

Paul Kelly’s exhibition in Central Bank will mark the beginning of the festival with a captivating exhibition. Named ‘Winds of Change’, this will illustrate the ever-changing urban landscape of Dublin1 through his photography and short film. This year we are welcoming ‘To Be Migrant’. The Five Lamps Arts Festival, Artmulti Brazil and REIC are bringing artists from many different backgrounds to share the stage and talk about stories, culture and feelings.

The fun continues on the 23rd of March with the Craic Club, hosting a thrilling night of live music, dance, burlesque and queer performances. As always, we will have our family-friendly events held at Mud Island Community Garden.
