Our Mission Statement

Dublin 8 is home to an amazing range of talented people, from photographers and weavers, to poets, authors and film-makers. The Rialto Community Arts Festival is here to shine a light on these amazing people, while inviting our neighbours to see just what Rialto has to offer.

Our Project Partners

What began as a conversation between a couple of people quickly turned into an idea. Thanks to the help of Fatima Groups United in the F2 Centre, Dolphin House Community Centre and St. Andrew’s Community Centre, as well as help from Dublin City Council, our festival was born.

Festival events take place in Dolphin House Community Centre, F2 Centre and St. Andrew’s Community Centre. In addition, we are delighted to be hosting events with the support of Ango’s Cafe, The Rialto Bridge Cafe, Dolphin’s Barn Library and The Circular Bar.
