Once more I am curating the Art Trail for Hunter's Moon Festival, here in Leitrim.
It was a great festival last year, bringing lots of interesting musicians and performers, artists and spectators to our lovely part of the country.
Here is a post I wrote about last year's Art Trail, and a link to the map of the trail.
And here is the link to the festival website for this year.
I really enjoyed being involved in the festival last year, and hopefully this year can be even better!
Details below about how to submit.
Hunter's Moon Festival
Art Trail seeking submissions from artists in all disciplines
After the success of
last year's festival in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim, here at Hunter's Moon
Festival we are looking for more weird and wonderful artists to join us in
creating an art trail throughout the town for the October bank holiday weekend,
26th-28th October 2012.
Selected artists’ work
will be shown/performed in various venues throughout the town, including vacant
shops and The Dock Arts Centre, with a map of the art trail and a printed
programme produced for festival-goers.
The Hunter's Moon is the
name of the full moon which falls in October, so called as it was a time of
night-hunting by the light of the moon. Darkness and light, the hunter and its
prey, blood-shed and death or sustenance and life - these are just some of the
themes associated with this time of year, coinciding with the pagan festival of
Samhain.
We are looking for work
in any discipline which reflects this theme. Applicants
must be available to deliver and install their work during the week prior to
the festival and to collect work on the Monday/Tuesday afterwards. Any work
sold will be charged a commission of 15%. Artists will be in charge of
the transport, installation and deinstallation of their work. There
will be a ten Euro fee for artists who are accepted.
The
festival runs from the 26th-28th October 2012.
Applicants
must submit proposals by email to: huntersmoonart at gmail dot com
Applications
must be accompanied by a short artist’s statement, proposal of intended work/s
with photographs where applicable, and examples of recent work – this can be
image attachments c. 1MB in size or links to a website or blog and must be
clearly labeled.
For more
info on the festival and last year’s art trail, including a map and programme,

We look forward to hearing from you. Please let us know if

Submission deadline: Friday 7th September 2012
