Culture Night 2026
Celebrate Culture Night 2026 with the Faculty of Arts & Humanities
Join the Faculty of Arts & Humanities at TU Dublin’s East Quad this Culture Night for an evening of visual art, opera and orchestral music on Friday, 18th September
The evening will mark the opening of the MA Creative Arts Exhibition, showcasing work by emerging artists across a range of disciplines. SEND, a Visual Communications exhibition, will also open on Friday evening. Both exhibitions will be open from 5pm until 9pm.
Take a peek behind the scenes of the TU Dublin Philharmonic as they prepare for their upcoming concert on 26th September. Conductor David Brophy, along with ninety musicians, explore the exhilarating music of George Gershwin (Porgy & Bess) and Modest Mussorgsky (Pictures at an Exhibition). Doors open between 6.30 and 8pm in the East Quad Concert Hall.
From 8:10pm to 8:50pm, the Vocal, Drama and Opera Department will present a series of staged, fully costumed Operatic scenes in the Recital Hall. The programme includes excerpts from Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, Mozart’s Così fan tutte, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, and the Charlotte and Sophie scene leading into Va! laisse couler mes larmes from Massenet’s Werther.
Whether you’re discovering opera for the first time, exploring contemporary visual art or experiencing a live orchestra, Culture Night is a chance to experience the creativity of TU Dublin’s Faculty of Arts & Humanities.
All our Culture Night events are free to attend and no need to book.
We look forward to welcoming you to East Quad for Culture Night 2026!
