Culture Night, Dublin 2006 - Late Night Culture for All the Family
Dublin’s first ever Culture Night will take place on Friday 22nd September when almost 40 of the city’s leading museums, galleries, studios and theatres will throw open their doors until 9.00pm to encourage people who normally don’t do so to visit them and learn of the city’s rich cultural offering.
Details of Culture Night were announced today by Minister for Arts, Sport & Tourism, John O’Donoghue, TD in Temple Bar, Dublin’s Cultural Quarter.
From Monet in the Hugh Lane Gallery, to up and coming bands in the Temple Bar Music Centre, from Bog Bodies in the National Museum of Ireland, Archaeology to outdoor movies in Meeting House Square, from the Yeats Exhibition in the National Library to A Tribute to the Ryder Cup in Collins Barracks, from talks about The Abbey Theatre’s history to the ‘Morphathon’ kids animation workshop in Filmbase, and many more in between, Culture Night provides people with a great opportunity to reacquaint themselves or introduce themselves to the city’s vast cultural offering.
Culture Night is coordinated by Temple Bar Cultural Trust (TBCT), in association with the Council of National Cultural Institutions of Ireland.
This initiative has been running for many years in other major cities across Europe including Rome, Paris, Copenhagen etc, where thousands of people now flock annually to the city’s cultural venues on that night.
Speaking at the launch, Minister of Arts, Sport and Tourism, John O’Donoghue TD said, “This is a fantastic occasion where people from all ages and walks of life can really learn about and enjoy the extensive cultural offering of Dublin City. People travel from all over the world to visit the city’s cultural venues and this is a chance for us to promote the rich heritage and culture of the city collectively. When combined it is an impressive array and with an incredible choice. I would encourage everyone to take the time to explore the participating venues and to make Culture Night a success.”
TBCT has developed three individual suggested routes around the city to help guide people to the various locations with ease. A ‘Culture Bus’ has been provided by the OPW to shuttle people around the city to the various venues on the evening.
Culture Night was the brain-child of Gráinne Millar, Head of Cultural Development, TBCT. According to Gráinne, “I have seen Culture Night grow from an initial concept with a couple of participants to a national event in many of the cities around Europe and I believe that Dublin is ready for this. There is an undercurrent of people wanting to explore and enjoy Dublin’s offering and I believe they will be pleasantly surprised to learn of the breadth and depth of the cultural resources in the City.
We have been hosting smaller scale Culture Nights in Temple Bar for the last two years and we felt, especially because it is the 15th anniversary of the area as Dublin’s Cultural Quarter, that we should celebrate the entire city’s cultural offering and coordinate Dublin’s first ever Culture Night.” She added.
This is the first year of what TBCT hopes will eventually become as successful as the well established Culture Nights across Europe.
