Creative Ireland is the Government’s Legacy Programme for Ireland 2016 – a five-year initiative, from 2017 to 2022, which places creativity at the centre of public policy. Creative Ireland will bring an enhanced level of coordination, focus and leadership to existing policies and initiatives across national and local government, State agencies, the arts and culture sector, Gaeltacht and Irish language organisations, and will provide linkages to the private business and NGO sectors. Is ionann an Clár Éire Ildánach is cuireadh don tír ar fad páirt a ghlacadh i rud éigin thar a bheith ionspioráideach.

Art, innovation and sustainability come together at Maynooth University!

On Tuesday 13 October, artist Martina O’Brien unveiled heav(Y) b(La)ck stone, a trilogy of film installations housed in three 20ft shipping containers, each transformed into a miniature cinema powered by wind and solar energy.

The exhibition grew from Martina’s time as artist-in-residence with the Co-Creative Lab, supported by Creative Ireland, showcasing the exciting possibilities that emerge when creativity, innovation and sustainability meet.

Ealaín, nuálaíocht agus inbhuanaitheacht ag teacht le chéile in Ollscoil Mhá Nuad!

Dé Máirt, an 13 Deireadh Fómhair, nocht an t-ealaíontóir Martina O'Brien heav(Y) b(La)ck stone, tríológ suiteán scannáin atá suite i dtrí choimeádán loingseoireachta 20 troigh, gach ceann acu athraithe ina phictiúrlann bheag atá á cumhachtú ag fuinneamh gaoithe agus gréine.

D'eascair an taispeántas as tréimhse a chaith Martina mar ealaíontóir cónaitheach leis an gComhshaotharlann Chruthaitheach, a fuair tacaíocht ó Éire Ildánach. Is léiriú é ar na féidearthachtaí spreagúla a thagann chun cinn nuair a thagann cruthaitheacht, nuálaíocht agus inbhuanaitheacht le chéile.
