Irish for Artists

We’re so grateful for all of the votes that you cast for our project through the Bank of Ideas Voting Day in Belfast City Hall on Sunday 29 June, and we're delighted that our project has been successful. 

💚ABOUT OUR PROJECT:

We’re planning an ‘Irish for Artists’ workshops series, festival pop-ups, online pronunciation guide and limited edition print run, working with artist, Irish speaker and bean iontach Eimear Nic Roibeaird. 

Our project will help artists in the North of Ireland to learn something new, build opportunities for creative collaboration, and deepen cultural partnerships (only 14 months ‘til the the Fleadh, weans!). 

Through these workshops, we’re inviting artists and creatives - from different disciplines and locations across the city - to tell us what you really want to be able to say as Gaeilge. We’ll translate it and then get it online, so we can all learn together 🫶

We’ll be leaning into the craic and the specificity of arts sector jargon to produce a glossary that is both informative and irreverent! 🤓💁‍♀️
