Culture Night: Painting Mirror

An interactive live digital art display.

Presented in partnership with the French Embassy, this interactive digital art display uses a photo booth on our lawn to turn your portrait into a giant masterpiece, projected in real time onto the historic façade of our Merrion Square building.  

Suited to all ages, join in the fun and have your portrait captured and instantly mirrored on the Gallery walls in the style of iconic artists who feature in our current Print Gallery exhibition, Rembrandt to Matisse - A Celebration of European Works on Paper, including Mary Swanzy, Rembrandt van Rijn, Henri Matisse, Edgar Degas, and Rosalba Carriera. Be our muse and become part of this immersive experience inspired by Irish, French, and European highlights from the Gallery's collection, all set to a live DJ set from Shrem!

This event is part of the European Culture Trail – a EUNIC Ireland (European Union National Institutes for Culture) initiative in cooperation with the European Commission Representation in Ireland. For those visiting European Culture Trail events in person, you can collect stamps at each stop. You can win some wonderful prizes!
