This year, Samhlaíocht’s Easter Arts Festival is 15 years old.  And once again we aim to present an exciting and diverse programme of events taking place in Tralee and around the County – from performances and exhibitions to workshops and fun activities that appeal to all ages and interests.

The Easter Festival is one of the highlights of Samhlaíocht’s annual calendar; it is a chance to showcase some examples of the enormous amount of creative work that is going on in our community throughout the year.  It brings together local, national and international artists and community groups to share ideas and to foster new ties of understanding and collaboration.  It engages the community at large – and especially the young – in the artistic life of our town.  But above all, it is a celebration of the vibrancy and diversity of the Arts in Kerry, a chance for everyone to enjoy and participate, and to have some fun.

Of course, apart from the Samhlaíocht Easter and Bumblebee Festivals and the Kerry Film Festival, we work throughout the year with artists and communities in promoting and developing the arts countywide.  The Samhlaíocht Gallery shows the work of new and emerging artists as well as running projects like the Artists’ Development Programme.  These events and festivals are driven by the energy, enthusiasm and vision of all our staff and volunteers and generously supported by our many sponsors and patrons and funders. Many thanks to you all for your ongoing support of Samhlaíocht and its programme of activites and we look froward  to seeing you at the festival.
