Beara Community Arts Festival - 22nd July - 7th August 2000

Plans are well advanced for this year's Beara Arts Festival which will be the Society's 9th Artist-in-Beara Exhibition involving well known local Artists. 

This year's Festival will include a Solo Show by Robin Forrester, an Installation by Phil Pearce and shows by Maura Whelan and Deirdre Gillespie, stained glass artists.

Also one of the highlights this year, is the arrival in the town of 'The Ship of Fools', a contemporary-medieval group of clowns, comedians and musicians, who come to entertain us.  They will set up a theatre on the pier and from there will give nightly performances from their boat.

Everyone is invited to welcome them to the town on Friday 21st July at 7.00 pm by congregating on the western end of the pier.

Mural Paintings by both Beara and Cork City Children will be carried out at designated sites in Castletownbere and Allihies.

A full programme of events will be posted here in the next few days.
