Ghost Light

Cultural venues have been closed since March 12, so arts organisations have had to show great innovation to reach out to audiences and support artists.
Here in Dundalk, An Tain Arts Centre, housed in the Town Hall, have hosted numerous virtual events as well as facilitating artists to work behind closed doors.
This installation of paper cuts by Irish artist Maeve Clancy in the windows of the Town Hall depicts local stories from the National Folklore Collection.
The project title Ghost Light refers to the old theatrical tradition of leaving a light shining on the stage to welcome back performers.
