Connecting Dublin with the Arts - The Five Lamps Arts Festival

Our Mission

The Five Lamps Arts Festival primary commitment is connecting the north inner city of Dublin with the arts and we achieve this through inclusivity, participation, environmental enhancement, and the creation and presentation of locally relevant, artistically ambitious work. Through this we aim to contribute to the development of the perception of the Five Lamps area as a positive and creative place in which to live and work.

We are best known for our flagship event The Five Lamps Arts Festival, an award-winning annual community-based arts festival which has taken place each spring in the North East Inner City.

Today, in addition to the annual festival, we run community arts programmes, guided walking tours across the area, workshops, and events throughout the year. We also provide project management consulting to several volunteer and community groups.
