Arts as gaeilge / New Contexts / Good sponsors shortlisted (May 8, 2003)

Gaeltacht art site launched

A new website has been launched, dedicated to artists (not just visual artists) in Gaeltacht areas. The stylish design alone makes it worth a look. Click here.

Other Contexts

Majella Ní Chríocháin is given as the contact name for ealaín na gaeltachta mentioned above. She also turns up in another context, Contexts to be precise. There she writes about the arts in the Gaeltacht areas.

Volume 2 / Issue 1 of Contexts has just appeared. It is published by creative activity for everyone, also known as cafe. The general thrust of Contexts, and cafe, is about accessing the arts, at a community level. Enquire about the magazine by clicking here.
