Culture Night will take place on Friday 17th and Kildare County Council is looking for expressions of interest to participate.
Culture Night is an annual island-wide public event that shines a light on all aspects of culture, creativity and the arts.
On that night, venues and events are available to the public free of charge.
KCC says "This year, we are particularly interested in participatory projects that engender ownership on the part of the audience, initiatives that broaden concepts of culture beyond the ‘High Arts’, and projects of high visibility with legacies reaching past Culture Night. We are committed to projects that Pay the Artist and projects that consider equality, inclusion, accessibility and diversity. "
Culture Night Mural Project
This year, it is envisaged that Kildare’s Culture Night programme will include the commissioning of a number of mural projects in the Kildare/Newbridge Municipal District area. Each successful proposal will be supported with a grant of €2,000.
