Connemara Arts Festival
Clifden Community Arts Week is the longest-running festival of community arts in Ireland. It’s now in its 45th anniversary and promises to be a great experience for everyone. Kazuo Ishiguro, Novel Laureate, described Clifden Community Arts Week as “Ireland’s best-kept Secret”. The festival will feature a high-quality artistic programme that features a great literary, musical, and visual content. Clifden’s community arts are again the central focus. There will be performances in local schools and creative writing workshops, as well as theatre and graphic design workshops.

Origins
Clifden Arts Week was established as a week-long celebration for the arts by Clifden Community School’s children. It aims to help them develop their artistic and social skills and give them a place for expression and growth. Arts Week at Clifden Community School gave so much pleasure over the years that a strong support network was formed, which allowed it to grow. Many of the actors, graphic designers, and copywriters who work on the festival each year are former Clifden Community School students, and they are delighted to offer their professional services.
