Ever thought of bringing your cool aunty, uncle, mam, dad or older pal on a night out? The one who's talked about how they used to party back in the day....well this month for The Sweet Spot we're collaborating with Age & Opportunity (@age_opp ) as part of Bealtaine Festival for the next Sweet Spot on May 29th at Project Arts Centre! Got someone older in your life you'd love to bring on a night out and show them how it's done? (Or they show you)....well then bring them along!
We've got a special bundle ticket, 2 tickets for €12 which will give you and your older pal entry along with a free drink at the bar. Simply add two tickets to your basket and you'll get the discount 💕 Tickets on sale now at the #LinkInOurBio.
Pull up, let loose & unwind with us at our monthly HOUSE PARTY in Dublin City Centre. Hosted at the Project Arts Centre in Temple Bar.
We believe you deserve space to feel comfortable in your skin. Room to dance & shake your rump if you want to. This is your invitation to do that 💌
The Sweet Spot exists as a response to the lack of space for us to be together. Pull up with your friends or come solo & make some new friends. No hype, no pressure. Just good music, open minds & shared presence. See you at The Sweet Spot! 🙂↔️🍬

ON THE WAY by Day Magee. 16 & 17 June 7.45pm @projectartscentre . Tickets €20/18 on sale now at the #LinkInOurBio.
You are at a bus stop waiting for a bus—in short, you are following the rules. The bus is due, but has yet to arrive—the game itself is not following the rules. It would appear that waiting is the name of the game.
Here, the performance artist Day Magee delivers an artist’s sermon to their fellow artists—a preaching to the choir, if you will—on the rules they are expected to follow, the rules they are expected to break, and the rewards and punishment they might be seeking.
Performed with Sebastian Adam's, Ela Cichocka and Yseult Cooper Stockdale
Producer - Renn Miano
Costume - Fionn O'Dubhghaill
Lighting - Sal Stapleton & Eoin Lennon
Additional Music - Mark Bergin
Voiceover - Cian Booth
Poster - Jamie P Smail
16 & 17 June | Two performances only!
🎫: €20/18. On sale now at the #LinkInOurBio.

𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘴 by Silvia Gribaudi is coming to Project on the 12 & 13 May as part of Dublin Dance Festival 2026. Meet us on the dance floor and book now via the #LinkInOurBio.
In this international solo piece, Silvia takes to the stage by herself, but she is not alone. Aware of the shared space between performer and audience, and driven by a desire for togetherness, Gribaudi invites the spectators to become an integral part of the work – a suspended, shifting chorus.
Inspired by female dance pioneers like Isadora Duncan, Pina Bausch and Anna Pavlova, Gribaudi asks simple, urgent questions: What moves us? What cages us? Who decides what a dancing body should look like?
With humour, vulnerability and fierce curiosity, she offers her own 50+ body as the starting point – revealing its limits and discovering joy in its potential. Suspended Chorus tears down modern codes of beauty, celebrates the fragility of our mortal bodies, and revels in the power of the collective. After all, we move best when we move together.
12 & 13 May | Space Upstairs
🎟️ Tickets €24/22 (+€1.50 booking fee)
Get 15% off when you purchase tickets to 2 or more Dublin Dance Festival events. Simply add the tickets to your cart, and the discount will be automatically applied.

Last night we launched 𝘌𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯 by Liliana Zeic in our Gallery! What an honour it was to have Liliana with us for the opening, alongside co-curator Dr Aleksandra Gajowy and our Curator of Visual Arts Marysia Więckiewicz. It was wonderful to have these three Polish women come together to bring this one to life!
Want to know more? You can read the exhibition text in English, Polish and Irish via the #LinkInOurBio.
Thank you to everybody who joined us – what a buzz! And as always a huge thank you to our friends over at Febvre Wines for sponsoring the event. 🍷
The Polish-born, Warsaw-based artist Liliana Zeic’s artistic practice is grounded in queer feminism and queer ecology, most recently focusing on queer histories through the lens of folk mythology. 𝘌𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯 is part of a research-led curatorial project, developed in collaboration with Dr Aleksandra Gajowy, designed to introduce Central and Eastern European lesbian artistic practices to an Irish audience.
Running until 18 July | The Gallery
Free to attend, no booking required
Find out more via the #LinkInOurBio.
This exhibition is co-curated by Dr Aleksandra Gajowy, UCD and Marysia Więckiewicz, Project Arts Centre. This exhibition is kindly supported by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Poland, and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dublin.
