by ALAN SHEEHAN, ANDREA
CUNNINGHAM & CLAUDIA SHANAHAN O’KEEFFE
This year’s assortment
of Culture Night events held across East Cork were
hugely successful, last Fri- day, 22 September. Culture Night is an an-
nual, country-wide event which sees arts and cultur- al organisers provide hun- dreds of free events such as tours, talks, performances and more, with the events held in East Cork proving
to be very successful. Midleton Library held a
number of events, includ- ing a meeting of Midleton Writers Group, a local history talk on the founda- tion of Midleton College, the Vile Viliers, with the Brodricks and the school talk being especially well
attended. The events at Midleton
Courthouse were similarly popular, attracting a large crowd for its buskers per- forming live music, the film screenings inside and the live performance art. Crafty Hands Ceramic Studio was also packed for
its Claytopia event, which included hands-on pottery and ceramic work as well as an exhibition of local artists. Youghal saw numerous
very well attended and successful events including music, art, performances and a celebration of the
Irish Language. Similarly, Cobh’s events very successful in-
were
cluding the Project Clean- sweep exhibition at
Sirius Arts Centre, the Cobh Youth Services open night and the musical per- formances at
the Band- stand and Cobh Library. the Arts
Killeagh’s Greywood multi-disciplinary
artists’ residency held a family-friendly event – a Bureau of Surrealist En- quiries – which saw chil- dren and adults alike cre- ating surrealist
art while
learning about the cultural movement.
