ARTboxes
ARTboxes bring the art activities to you! This series of eight art-sharing boxes provide free art explorations and supplies year-round. Creative prompts and materials are designed to engage participants of all ages and experience levels, with themes rotating seasonally. Launched in 2020, ARTboxes aim to inspire creativity and expand art access in neighborhoods across Dublin.

What will I find in an ARTbox?
ARTboxes offer free art explorations and supplies. These explorations rotate seasonally. Periodically, Dublin Arts Council collaborates with local partners and artists to offer a unique perspective or cultural exchange project.
What if the box is empty?
ARTboxes provide about 7,500 free explorations and supplies each year! As you can imagine, it’s hard to keep up with this engagement. If you see an ARTbox empty, we apologize for any inconvenience. We hope you will check back again soon.
Who takes care of the ARTboxes?
Dublin Arts Council has a team of dedicated volunteers, called stewards, who care for the ARTboxes. Stewards visit the boxes two to three times each month to restock supplies, refresh signage and perform routine cleaning.
Thank you for not leaving trash or other materials in the ARTboxes, let's keep them looking nice for everyone to experience!
A special thanks to
our ARTbox partners.
