Ongoing Artistic Projects

This year has been an incredibly difficult year for so many people including those working in the arts and entertainment sectors, but with the support of the festival funders we have been able to continue to support the work of artists across Donegal, Ireland and further afield.

Artists such as Luxe and Tumblecircus are working on major new outdoor spectacle and circus pieces for presentation in 202, there will be a new collaborative commission by In Their Thousands and a new ‘remote working’ international music collaboration – Earagail to Everest – by Donegal musicians Fionn Robinson and Peadar Coll (of Aul Boy), Keith Mannion (Slow Place Like Home) and the Katmandu-based Nepalese trio Kanta Dab Dab.

Updates and diary videos on the progress of these ongoing artistic projects will be released in the coming weeks and months, follow the updates on our website or join our newsletter mailing list to receive the latest news.

We also look forward to continue showcasing Donegal to the world through three Earagail Arts Festival projects commissioned by the Department of Foreign Affairs to represent Ireland at the World Expo, Dubai, now rescheduled to 2021.
