Dublin has grown into a genuinely exciting city for creatives over the past decade. Alongside the well-known tech presence, there's a thriving independent scene of designers, illustrators, filmmakers and makers who have built a community that feels distinctly local and proud of it.
The city is compact enough that the creative world here overlaps a lot, and getting to know people tends to happen faster than you'd expect.

Whether you're a designer, illustrator, filmmaker, or working in any creative field, this guide will help you find your people in the city. From casual meetups to vibrant community events,
Dublin
offers countless opportunities to connect, collaborate, and get inspired.
Creative Lunch Club is a global community for people working in the creative industries. Whether you are a graphic designer, a photographer, a marketer, or a filmmaker, the Creative Lunch Club gives you the chance to regularly meet other creatives in your city for lunch.
The Design Kids is a global community for emerging designers, with city meetups, interviews, jobs, and practical resources to help you build your folio and grow your career.
I really enjoy meeting new people through Creative Lunch Club. I think it's a great way of making new contacts, especially as a foreigner in a new city.
Creative Lunch Club is always a treat. If you are new to a city, looking for collaborators or just nice humans, I would recommend.
Thank you so much for the lunch club so far — I have already made some fabulous friendships, have been introduced into the unfamiliar worlds of other creatives, and even had a wonderful new project idea.
