Oileán - Féile Ealaín Aug 7 - 9 2020 Tá an-áthas orainn an chéad Fhéile Ealaíon Comhaimseartha “Oileán” a fhógairt. Ba é an smaoineamh ar dtús ná léiriú nó imeachtaí ó gach ceann de na healaíontóirí a chríochnaigh an cónaitheacht ar an oileán i 2019 a chur ar siúl ach mar gheall ar Covid-19 tá ár bpleananna athraithe de réir scaradh sóisialta srl. Mar sin sin beidh imeachtaí socraithe againn sa slí gur féidir le daoine sásamh a bhaint astu ó bhaile nó amuigh faoin aer ar Oileán Chléire. Tabharfaidh an deireadh seachtaine imeachtaí aonair, turais siúlóide fuaime, scagadh scannáin, suiteán ealaín, craic agus plé don uile dhuine. Is iad na healaíontóirí atá i gceist; Timmy Creed, Áine Ó’Hara, Tomás Ó’Daltúin, Róisín Foley agus Zoé ní’Ríordáin. Le tacaíocht ó Chónaitheacht Ealaíontóirí Chléíre “Oileán”, Comharchumann Chléire, Forás na Gaeilge agus Ealaín na Gaeltachta.

We are delighted to announce the first “Oileán” Contemporary Arts Festival. Originally the idea was to present in person works from each of the artists who completed a residency on the island in 2019 but due to Covid - 19 we have shifted our plans in line with social distancing and our changing circumstances to offer experiences which can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home or out and about on Cape Clear. The weekend will offer solo experiences, audio walking tours, film screening, visual art installations, craic and discussion. The artists presenting will be Timmy Creed, Áine Ó’Hara, Tomás Ó’Daltúin, Róisín Foley and Zoé ní’Ríordáin. The festival is made possible thanks to support from Oileán Artist in Residency Programme, Comharchumann Chléire, Forás na Gaeilge and Ealaín na Gaeltachta.
