Would you like to volunteer for Éigse?

Éigse Arts Festival returns to Carlow in June 2010 and are recruiting volunteers to help manage the day to day running of the festival. Whether you are an Arts enthusiast, a festival fanatic or just want to give something back to the community, working as an Éigse Carlow Arts Festival volunteer is just the ticket. While we ask that volunteers are over 18, with no upper limit, we do have a number of exciting projects with youths to design and create their own projects. Contact Lisa in the festival office for further information on +353-59-9140491.

Volunteers have a chance to be at the centre of the action in the festival and witness some top live acts and performances. In return Éigse asks for a friendly face to man stands, collect tickets and generally facilitate fun!

Art on the railings

During the 2009 festival we encouraged artists nationwide to show their work on the streets of Carlow including the Courthouse railings and along Kennedy Avenue. The entry cost was €30 per artist and we plan to run a similar scheme during the festival in June 2010. Contact the festival office on +353-59-9140491 for further information or sign up to our newsletter where you will be the first to know what's happening at Éigse for 2010.

 

Éigse Open Selection 2010

Unfortunately due to financial restrictions this year the Éigse Open Selection will be postponed until the 2011 festival. The Open Selection has been the back bone of the festival for many years and it is with great difficulty that this decision was taken. On a positive note, it will give us a chance to evaluate the Open Selection process and assess if / how it can be improved in the future. We know this will be a disappointment to many and hope for your understanding on this occasion as we hugely appreciate the support of artists over the years.
