We trust the audience’s curiosity and open-mindedness.
Carlow Arts Festival believes that challenging perceptions, blurring and modifying the lines between artforms (circus, dance, street art, parade, theatre, magic) is the best way to reach and retain a broad, stimulated, eclectic, curious, generous audience.
We welcome everyone from Carlow and beyond for an inspiring and precious journey which leaves certainty, hesitations and misperceptions behind and which offers a gateway to arts activities to many new audiences, opening space for aesthetic pleasure and intellectual stimulus.
We are excited to offer a distinctive, diverse, high-quality programme with relevant live performances from home and abroad, digital, virtual and site specific experiences, mentoring opportunities and workshops during the festival in June.
The 2022 programme presents artists’ work that is vital and visceral, thoughtful and thought-provoking — as purposeful as it is joyful.
