A Look Back at Kilkenny Arts Festival 2021

Filmed and edited by Cormac Larkin

As we emerge from two years of restrictions, we're taking a moment to celebrate the way in which our society, our artists, audiences and partners came together to create unique experiences despite the challenges, allowing us to witness art in our own living rooms, and in a myriad of different ways.

Art and artists always find a way to shine a light in the darkest of times, deepening our understanding and empathy, giving us the means to express that which we seem to have no words for and holding the torch of hope.

So we'd like to take the opportunity to thank absolutely everybody involved as we look back on a unique festival, brought to life by commitment, incredible talent and community spirit.
