Yes I Said Yes: A Bloomsday Evening of Song, Literature & Art
Stephen’s Green Club, Dublin · 16 June 2026
Natalie Forrester exhibited selected works from Colours of Ulysses at the historic Stephen’s Green Club as part of a Bloomsday evening bringing together visual art, music, literature, dinner, and readings from James Joyce’s Ulysses. The exhibition marked a major milestone for the project: the unveiling of COU 100, a Guinness-inspired diptych, and the first presentation of Colours of Ulysses on Irish soil. Special thanks to Angela Canavan, whose support, generosity, and determination were instrumental in bringing the exhibition to Dublin, and to Stephen’s Green Club for welcoming the work so warmly and providing such a memorable setting for the occasion.
