If you are out and about rambling Dublin city over the Christmas and want to get away from the throngs of crazy shoppers and queues then head on down to Dublin Castle Courtyard for a little bit of colour, peace an a lot of Hope! Here you will find for no entrance fee an exhibition of beautiful hand crafted 2.4m tall Angels.
These fiberglass Angels were presented as a blank canvas to some very well known artists, musicians, sports people and celebs to design and portray their interpretation of Hope. The colourful ideas of Ryan Tubridy, Tommy Tiernan, Amy Huberman and my favourite Jedward are on show in the courtyard until the end of December.
The exhibition of Angels will then go on tour in select counties North and South in January an February of next year! Still to come are designs by The Edge, Padraig Harrington and BOD! The exhibition is sponsored by Vodafone and aims to raise much needed funs through auction for Gaisce, Angels Quest and First Step Georgia.
So go on … its colourful, its bright, its peaceful and most of all its Hope!
Some tasters below … I don’t want to ruin it!
