OFFSITE is a 10 days mini-festival which not only showcases spectacular exhibitions, but also enriches Dublin streets with exciting events.
Join us in town during the festival for portfolio reviews, workshops and talks and more.
For all the creative minds out there, we will run a Portfolio Review at Indigo & Cloth on the 2nd of April. Specialists in visual and graphic design will be on hand to critique and provide valuable feedback on how you can strengthen your portfolio. Don’t miss the chance to get advice from designers of leading studios and hiring managers from the biggest agencies. Come along at Indigo & Cloth from 11 am to 5 pm.

However, for those of you who love the outdoors and are passionate about photography, why not take our Workshop in Photography from still life to portraits? You will have the chance to enjoy a day of photography with full tuition from a professional photographer, Mike O’Toole, around the city, its parks and its winding streets.

OFFSET could never forget about music as a vital ingredient to the OFFSITE recipe. By teaming up with Dublin City Council and Homebeat, OFFSET produced OFFBEAT, an outdoor music event celebrating Dublin from 2pm to 6 pm on April 2nd. The hub of activity will be located in the historic part of Temple Bar with activities for all the family and a programme of live music curated by Homebeat, featuring a range of performances from up and coming performers.
If the first thing you do when visiting a new city is to look for the hottest exhibitions or the local galleries, the Meet the Curator event is for you.
We have teamed up with leading curators of cultural institutions to gain insight into the process involved in planning, curating and managing the exhibition programme. Enjoy a gallery tour, focusing on how exhibitions and works are selected with a particular emphasis on storytelling. Locations include Marsh’s Library, The National Print Museum and Temple Bar Gallery & Studios.
