Things kick 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.
