The Liberties Dublin bursts to life this summer with lively festivals, creative workshops, some of the city’s top visitor attractions and a fascinating programme of walks and talks to help you explore the area.
Summer kicks off with the Graduate Festivals at National College of Art & Design. Already in full swing, the Festival’s climax will be the main grad shows from 18th to 26th June at the main campus on Thomas Street. Its the ‘must-see’ design and art exhibition of the year, which this year features both the three-year and four-year degree graduates: bigger and better than ever! The showcase involves 540 students, across 12 distinct design disciplines, over 4 venues on Thomas Street and James Street and Marrowbone Lane. More details at www.ncad.ie.
