Today, the Five Lamps Arts Festival has five core objectives: The Five Lamps Arts Festival is unique in bringing together the education and the voluntary sector to celebrate art. State, city and philanthropic funding also support the festival. Today, the college is still heavily involved with the support of a large group of volunteers. The Festival was established in 2007 as an initiative of Marino College of Further Education. This year there will be 43 events across 15 venues. We are proud to include in our programme anyone with a story to tell and a venue willing to host them. Through the traditions and ambiance of this historic location and community the Five Lamps Arts Festival celebrate all that is good about art, artists, performers and community. The Five Lamps stand on an island at the junction of Portland Row, North Strand Road, Seville Place, Amiens Street and Killarney Street in Dublin’s north inner-city. The geographic location of the Festival centres around the ‘Five Lamps’ – a decorated lamp post with five lanterns dating from around 1880. The mission of this annual festival is to promote community development and social inclusion through the arts and to showcase the uniqueness of this geographic area to residents and to visitors.

Options, to change the world through creativity, dance, art, photography. I met somebody last week that provides man, woman and child with options. Give a man a camera, give a woman an easel, not necessarily in that order, but give a child an option. But tell that to our children, tell that to our creators. We forget that inside each and every one of us we have a universe of creativity. Us, not necessarily me, as I’m an idiot, but those around us, our children, our neighbor’s children.
