For the past two years, in association with Failte Ireland, Spraoi has assisted Longford County Council’s Samhain Parades This vibrant street spectacle relationship now has an extra dimension.
Spraoi is currently mentoring fifteen talented artists and performers from the Longford area. Spectacle artists Magda Karol and Tommy Casby are leading street performance and design workshops with the local artists. In sessions over May and June an array of skills, techniques, and experiences are being shared. Upskilling artists from the area aims to greatly enhance their original creation capacity and the initiative is the brainchild of Longford County Council’s Arts Office.
