Arts

Cork County Council has announced an open call competition for a new artwork in Kinsale Library. The new library was officially opened last December and is ten times larger than the previous premises.  

Cork County Council’s Library and Arts Service annual short story anthology “From the Well” brings the reader on a journey around Ireland; from rural farms and seaside villages to city streets. The numerous tales, voices, and characters each capture a moment in time from the past to present day.

Living but a Day: Dear Readers by Cork artist and PhD researcher Chloe Austin (she/her) is an exhibition about LGBT+ and feminist archival material. The exhibition features artefacts from the archives telling stories of cross border collaborations between feminist groups and opens at Cork County Council’s LHQ Gallery on the 31st of July to coincide with Cork LGBT+ Pride festival.

Cork County Council’s Arts Office is inviting members of the public to share their views about how the council can promote the enjoyment of and participation in the arts in County Cork.
