Mountshannon Arts turns to poetry as it steers a route through restrictions of the pandemic
April 22, 2021
NEW Directions, Maps and Journeys are the themes of Poetry Day and the inspiration behind a project being undertaken by Mountshannon Arts, as the community organisation reflects on its 25-year history.
Poetry Day takes place on Thursday, April 29. Poet Róisín Bugler notes that it will also mark the first outing this year for Moutshannon Arts, whose festival has been inspiring and entertaining audiences from East Clare and far further afield, for a quarter of a century.
Kilbride based Centre for Creative Practises has launched a diversity series celebrating the work of migrant and culturally diverse artists living in Ireland.
The new online series is called Against the Odds2 and is part of the Centre for Creative Practices (CFCP) annual New Voices of Ireland series. Now in its eight-year, the New Voices of Ireland Series is an annual project that provides a platform for migrant and culturally diverse artists to present their work to the wider community. The initiative is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
The award-winning CFCP is a not for profit organisation is dedicated to connecting, integrating, and promoting migrant and culturally diverse artists and inter-cultural arts practices in Ireland, having been established in 2009.
