‘Le Chéile’ – An evening of creative conversations at Daróg Wine Bar.
Artist Talk | Wine Tasting | Pop Up Art Shop
‘Le Chéile’ means "together" in Irish — and that’s exactly what these evenings are about. They’re open to anyone looking for inspiration and meaningful connection.
Each event features an artist talk, where the exhibiting artist shares insights into their creative journey and the story behind the work currently on display at Daróg. It’s a relaxed, open space where conversation flows naturally — between artist and guests, and among fellow art appreciators.
Alongside the talk, you’ll find a guided wine tasting and a pop-up art shop, adding more ways to engage with the evening.
These gatherings are about more than just listening — they invite dialogue, curiosity, and connection. Together, we celebrate the power of art to move us, bring us closer, and shift how we see the world.
