Help us celebrate the Legend of Midir and ÉtainCreative Ardagh,
in partnership with County Longford Arts Office and Cruthú Arts Festival
are inviting all artists, writers, poets, established and new, young
and old to take part in an exciting Visual Arts and Literature Project.
We
want to celebrate our local legend by publishing an anthology of
stories, poetry and artwork by people of all ages. We envisage a mix of
work from professional artists and writers, along with the work of
children and other budding artists/writers based on the legend of Midir
and Etain.
This inspirational legend lends itself to an exciting
project such as this. Be inspired by the drama, love, envy and
shapeshifting transformations that are entwined in the story and produce
your own creation in whatever media you like. We are accepting poetry
and stories up to a maximum of 1500 words and artworks in any media
including drawing, painting, photography, digital media and images of 3d
artwork. The only restriction is that it is your own original work.
You can find out more about the legend here:
http://creativeardagh.blogspot.ie/p/midir-and-etain.html.
You can enter from where ever you are in the world by post or email.
Artworks sent by post should not exceed A4 size.
The closing date for submissions is: 5pm on 7th June 2015.
Please send all submissions to:
Creative Ardagh, Ardagh Heritage and Creativity Centre,
Ardagh, Co. Longford
or email:
creativeardagh@gmail.comThe
anthology will be launched as part of the Bilberry Sunday Event on the
26th July 2015 in Ardagh Heritage and Creativity Centre. This event will
be hosted by Creative Ardagh in conjunction with County Longford Arts
Officer Fergus Kennedy during the Cruthu Arts Festival. Those selected
for the publication will get a chance to read their written piece or
display the original artwork on the day.
We are looking forward to welcoming several school groups for Maths Week next week. We still have some limited availability, €4 per person for groups of ten or more, €5 per person for groups less than ten.
If you can't make it along, why not try some tessellations for yourself with this tessellation creator and if you figure out what the hammer does, let us know!
