Bayside Rocks - rock painting exhibition and workshop
Starting out as simple folly to make neighbours smile, the Bayside Rocks project has gone from strength to strength over a couple of years. Wandering around Dublin 13, you might come across a brightly painted rock or you can leave your own for someone to find. On Culture Night, you will see a sample of the work, watch rocks being painted and even have the opportunity to create your own rock art.
Music: cafe from 5:00pm
Vincent Judge - 5:00pm
Vincent is a solo musician whose set will comprise mainstream folk/rock to get us started for the night!
