The United Arts Club is situated in the heart of Georgian Dublin. Since its foundation in 1907 the Club has been a meeting place for people with an interest in all aspects of the arts. The club has a fascinating and rich cultural history, our founding members include WB Yeats, Countess Markievicz, and AE Russell.
We would be delighted to welcome members of the public to come visit the United Arts Club on Culture Night, where we will be hosting a variety of events throughout the night including; Life Drawing Classes, Musical Performances in the Function Room and Poetry Recitals in the Club’s Bar.
