Children’s Art in Libraries

Since 2010 the CAL Programme - an initiative of the Dublin City Arts Office - has worked in partnership with Dublin City Public Libraries to deliver innovative programming for children across a broad range of art forms.

In more recent years the CAL Programme began to develop its Creative Hub initiative: Creative Hubs seek to sustain high quality arts experiences for children, schools and families to access in their Library and locality, through the development of enhanced educational, community and cultural partnership. 

Children’s Art in Libraries Creative Hubs Free Summer Programme 2024

Free summer activities for children and families at Ballyfermot Library, Cabra Library, Central Library, and Coolock Library.

Continuing throughout August, the Creative Hubs free summer programme is packed with fun events and arts activities for children under 12.  

From drama, storytelling and visual arts for early years, design and animation, dance adventures from Brazil and music concerts for families - there’s so much to enjoy.

Creative Hubs sustain high quality arts experiences for children, schools and families to access in their library and locality, through partnership. This is a Dublin City Arts Office and Dublin City Libraries initiative delivered by The Ark.
