THESE WALLS

The Guinness Storehouse is proud to be part of one of Dublin's most vibrant and historic neighbourhoods, The Liberties. With its dynamic fusion of old and new, Dublin 8 boasts over 800 years of history and remains one of the city’s oldest and most storied areas. Guinness has been woven into the fabric of The Liberties since its beginnings in 1759, employing generations of locals and championing the community. The heartbeat of the area is undoubtedly its people showcased beautifully in our recent campaign; There’s No Place Like Home. 

Now, as the Storehouse marks its landmark 25th year, we're excited to unveil These Walls, a multi-phase street art initiative launching on Culture Night in partnership with Dublin City Council, the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), and The Digital Hub. 

Phase One brings bold new murals to Thomas Street by Deirdre Breen and Owen de Forge, while Crane Street and Market Street become canvases for site-responsive works from Alice Rekab, Venus Patel, Thaís Muniz, and Farouk Alao with art that's deeply connected to Dublin8. These Walls is more than an art initiative, it’s a living, co-created celebration of place, memory, and evolving identity, unfolding in the streets and stories of The Liberties.

CULTURE DATE WITH DUBLIN 8

Culture Date with Dublin 8 is a neighbourhood initiative, which aims to celebrate Dublin 8’s rich cultural, historical and architectural heritage while encouraging people who are living, working and visiting the area to explore what is on their doorstep. This initiative, supported by Guinness Storehouse, offers a year-long programme of free, family friendly events, activities and workshops during a weekend-long festival in May and a host of events that take place across the calendar year.
