Culture Night was great again!

Earth Rising Festival, Cargo Bike Extravaganza, Dublin Festival of History, European Researchers’ Night

Last week, the only wonderful donor was Luana! Thank you very much! Your help is much appreciated and is making a difference. Without it, the Dublin Event Guide can not survive.

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.

Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG

And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?

+++ Minaw Collective’s 10 Year Anniversary Street Art Exhibition
Thus exhibition is a celebration of a decade of artistic accomplishments of the all-female street artists collective who have made Dublin (and other places in Ireland) a much prettier, more inspirational and happier place. You might have never heard of the Minaw Collective, but you probably have seen their huge paintings on buildings. have a look at the gallery on their website www.minawcollective.com/gallery to recognise some of the art that is full of energy and vibrancy.
The exhibition will run throughout September and on Saturday 09 Sept from 13:00-18:00 you are invited to the launch and a spoken word poetry night at Phase Art Space, 27 Garville Lane, Rathgar, Dublin 6. Admission is free until 19:00. www.facebook.com/events/2456433354523565

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! – Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)

+++ How It’s Made – Exhibition and Events Series
how it’s made: meitheal is an exhibition and series of events designed to consider how things are extracted from the natural world in modern society and artists reflections of that concept. The exhibition will run from 09-23 September and will be on show in 6 locations in Balbriggan, Co. Dublin.
Artists were paired with engineering experts to learn about how everyday objects are made (i.e. t-shirts, hamburgers, mobile phones, cars, Lego blocks). The artists were invited to create an artful manifestation of the process for a group exhibition, :meitheal (an old Irish term that describes how neighbours would come together to assist in the saving of crops or in other tasks)
The event and exhibition locations are the Warehouse, Vault, Window, Hub and Castle in Balbriggan but the organisers don’t make it too easy to find addresses for the locations. You will have to go to reclaimingthearts.org/ to find them.
The event page for the “How it’s made” is at scealcollective.com/how-its-made-programme/
Opening events are on Sat 09 September and there are a number of workshops on Sunday 10 Sept.
