Free forum on Irish language arts to take place in Wexford during Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann
An tOireachtas, an arts and culture organisation founded in 1897 to promote literature and the performing arts As Gaeilge are coming to Wexford. During Fleadh Cheoil nah Éireann, on August 8 between 11am and 12.30pm at Wexford Arts Centre, they will host an information session on opportunities to get involved with and support Irish – language based performing arts, stemming from their Four Year National Action Plan.
With support from Wexford County Council, the event is being organised by the organisation's Irish Language Arts Officer for Leinster, Bláithín Ní Chatháin and will feature two talented Wexford artists, singer Rachel Uí Fhaoláin and published poet Éire Ní Fhaoláin.
This is a free event and all are welcome. Advanced registration is required and can be done by contacting An tOireachtas. This year, the group's annual showcase event, Oireachtas na Samhna, will take place in Belfast.
