More than 300 events are taking place in the capital to mark Dublin's 25th Culture Night.
Among them, on Dublin's northside CoisCéim Broadreach are performing a dance in the bandstand in Fairview Park inspired by a Ukrainian story of war and grief.
While Temple Bar plays host to a number of concerts throughout Culture Night with electronic music act Le Boom performing in Meeting House Square late tonight.
50 events are taking place in 17 venues across Co Wicklow with singer Paddy Casey among the big name performers in the Garden County.
In Baltinglass Library people will learn how to turn life into art by doing botanical art workshops tonight during their Art in the Community programme.
In Arklow Arts Centre, artist Conor Walton is undertaking a twelve hour portrait marathon - painting 18 people and livestreaming the process.
Jenny Sherwin, Arts Officer at Wicklow County Council said the focus was on bringing the arts to areas where professional artists do not normally work.
"Our goal for Culture Night was to bring creativity outside of the main venue," she said.
"So a lot of our work is presented regionally in really small towns and villages."
