Inishowen Art
Festival public meeting
31.10.22
|
ARTLINK is exploring the
feasibility of bringing an exciting new international
art festival to Inishowen every two years. Members of
the public are invited to attend ‘community consultation
sessions’ taking place at 2pm - 5pm and 5:30pm - 7pm in
St Mary's Hall (Buncrana Cinema) on Wednesday, 2nd
November 2022. |
 |
During the consultation
sessions, members of the public will be asked whether a
new international art festival, the ‘Inishowen
Biennale’, would be of interest to the local community
and potential visitors. Similar multi-day, free art
festivals feature large-scale installations, illuminated
sculptures, video art and sound & projection works by a
diverse cross-section of local, national and
international artists.
Artlink Project Co-ordinator Rebecca Strain said: “We’re
delighted to be developing proposals for a new art
festival that would significantly enhance Inishowen’s
tourism and events portfolio, not only helping to
promote our wonderfully creative local artistic
community but also the peninsula as an exciting and
dynamic international cultural destination...
I would therefore encourage as many people as possible
to come along to our community consultation sessions
that will give local residents, schools and the business
community an opportunity to share their thoughts on our
new proposals, along with potential educational and
cultural programming.”
