Askeaton Contemporary Arts invites you to Welcome to the Neighbourhood, curated by Michele Horrigan.
Our annual artist residency programme and festival situates Irish and international artists in the midst of Askeaton each summer, discovering new potentials of creative energy, the making of place and innovative ecological thinking.
From our community hall to the River Deel, castle ruins, streets and surrounding countryside, Welcome to the Neighbourhood looks to the rich layers of Askeaton’s daily life as its inspiration. Since 2006, artists from around the world have been at the centre of the community investigating, uncovering and creating new understandings of our locale. Many artworks made here have been presented elsewhere in Ireland and abroad in exhibitions, art biennials and film festivals, evoking Askeaton’s reputation since medieval times as a place of exchange, trade and cultural knowledge.
