Welcome to this year’s Cashel Arts Festival, where our theme is Footprints — a celebration of the marks left by those who have gone before us, and a reflection on the impressions we might leave behind as we explore the many exciting events on offer.

Whether you choose to tread lightly through the exhibitions, music, film and talks, or step forward to join the parade, discussions and workshops, I hope you enjoy every moment of this wonderful festival weekend.

We are deeply grateful to our generous sponsors, supportive local businesses, talented artists, and dedicated volunteers — each of whom leaves an invaluable mark on the life of our festival.

And of course, our audience is at the heart of everything we do. I hope this year’s festival leaves a lasting impression on you.

Come join us and make your own mark!

Chairperson, Cashel Arts Festival
