Kilkenny Arts Festival

The sun's splitting the rocks and we have record breaking hot weather for this years Kilkenny Arts Festival and Kilkenny Fringe.

It is very unusual to hear that some of the Secret Garden Music performances have been canceled for the safety of audiences, volunteers and performers, and because of the damaging impact that high temperatures have on performers’ instruments.

Every year (except 2020) FORM craft group is exhibiting in Kilkenny during the festival and for the last two years we have been lucky to rent the unit at 16 Rose Inn Street, just at the bottom of the Parade near the traffic lights.

Fine and bespoke jewellery, modern woodwork, stone sculpture, signature felt, exquisite quilt-making, Irish ceramics and more. Discover work by FORM members: Tomomi McElwee, Emma Jane Champley , Leiko Uchiyama , Darragh Sinnott , Martin Marley, Mary Bourke, Liga Valge and Martin Lyttle.

Arts Festival is slowly coming to an end but there is still chance to catch some performances, exhibitions and various events in the area.

Enjoy! Liga xx
