Local Enterprise Office South Dublin inaugural art Exhibition

SOUTH Dublin’s Local Enterprise Office Creative Economy Network (SCENE) are proud to announce their sponsorship of ‘Le Chéile’, the inaugural exhibition of the South Dublin Art Collective (SDAC).

The exhibition will be held in The Old Courthouse, Main Street, Rathcoole, bringing together talented artists from across South Dublin in a celebration of creativity, community and culture.

‘Le Chéile’ meaning ‘together’ in Irish is a fitting title for an exhibition that reflects the very values both SDAC and the Local Enterprise Office South Dublin. The exhibition unites 14 artists from diverse cultures, backgrounds and walks of life, each bringing their own unique story and creative vision to the collective showcase.

By supporting ‘Le Chéile’, the Local Enterprise Office hope to shine a light on the exceptional artistic talent that exists right here in South Dublin and to demonstrate the important role the creative economy plays.

The exhibition will open with a public launch evening on Thursday, 25th September from

6:30pm to 8:30pm, with free entry and complimentary refreshments.

The venue will remain open to the public daily from 26th September to 1st October, 11:00am to 4:00pm, closing with a special Meet the Artists afternoon on 1st October from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.
