Turas Úr Arts Collective proudly presents the fourth annual Cruinniú le Cruthú, a free arts festival that promises to bring creativity out of the galleries and into the heart of the Gaeltacht community at Ballyconnell Falcarragh.
Mark your calendars for July 7th, 2024, as Ballyconnell Estate transforms into a vibrant hub of artistic expression, celebrating our rich landscape, culture, and community. Organisers are grateful to Ealaín Na Gaeltachta for their support for this event.
Turas Úr, now in its fourth year, is thrilled to announce a multisensory lineup that will captivate and inspire.
Their ethos is rooted in creating opportunities for artists living in the Gaeltacht to produce and exhibit their work, a mission that supports local talent and enriches the cultural landscape of our community.
This year, six dedicated collective members—Leanne McLaughlin, Cathal McGinley, Mickey McFadden, Laura Diver, Moya Nic Fhearraigh, and Ed Devan—will create six new pieces inspired by the stunning landscape and unique culture of our local area. Joining them are the esteemed invited artists Emily Waszak, Kim Sharkey, Pól Penrose, John McCarron, AnneMarie Ní Churreán and Orri Mc Brearty adding their unique voices to this celebration of creativity.
Cruinniú le Cruthú 2024 is a family-friendly event, featuring an array of artistic expressions including visual arts, storytelling, sound art, and live music. Highlights include live performances by up-and-coming musicians living in the Gaeltacht and Plein Air sessions with Ian Gordon and Cathal McGinley. Why not grab your paints and an easel and come along for the day.
Immerse yourself in the spirit of the community as diverse talents are showcased at the top of their game.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a music lover, or simply looking for a wonderful day out with the family, Cruinniú le Cruthú offers something for everyone.
