Spraoi’s Salute to Spring
It celebrates the arrival of spring with its optimistic promise of longer days and a summer to come.
Salute to Spring includes soundtracks created by West Waterford artists Moe Dunford (Actor), Áine Uí Fhoghlú (Poet), George Higgs (Musician/Composer) with Hannah Carberry (Writer).
Spraoi has created a large-scale art installation on the art centre’s external walls which will be illuminated at night and will remain in-place throughout February. An artistic team comprising of: Ailse Barrie, Bobby Comerford, Ken Fortune, Charles Jacob, Anthony O’Brien, Magdalena Karol, Mike Leahy and Johnny Power worked at Spraoi Studios throughout January to create the artworks.
Salute to Spring is partnered and co-funded by The Arts Council Faoin Spéir programme and Waterford City and County Council.
