Open Call: Artists to Exhibit

April 12, 2016

cruthu arts festival

Cruthú Arts Festival is excited to be entering its third year in July 2016. This year, we are once again issuing a call for artists to participate in the main event and purpose of our diverse programme.

Exhibiting artists will be able to take advantage of pop-up spaces located in vacant retail units situated throughout the town, which can be used to display existing works, house specially-designed installations, or be transformed into unique conceptual spaces. Every year we receive fantastic responses to this call-out, resulting in an eclectic mix of visual art displays which are warmly welcomed and anticipated by visitors to the festival. We are looking to incorporate a broad range of visual art forms, including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, and film.

Artists who wish to apply for exhibition spaces should contact the Cruthú Arts Festival committee by emailing cruthuartsfestival@gmail.com or calling 086 3044399.

Cruthú 2016 will take place from Thursday to Sunday, July 28th to the 31st, at various locations in Longford town and will include a variety of art exhibitions, film, music, and theatre performances.

While we will endeavour to facilitate as many artists as possible the spaces are limited. Submissions will be evaluated by The Cruthú Arts Festival Committee and the successful final selection will be contacted by email.

The closing date for submissions is: 6th May 2016.
