Muine Bheag Arts is pleased to present COMMUNE from 15th - 25th August 2025. Taking place in and around the Muine Bheag Community Centre, the programme unfolds as a collection of live events, workshops and public interventions. 

COMMUNE is a site for assembling and disseminating ideas, emerging from a central studio and gathering space shared by artists, community groups, collaborators and graduates-in-residence. COMMUNE can be understood as a series of small collective actions and gestures which reach towards systems of support and connection. 

The programme includes contributions from: Anna Aleksejeva, After School Special, Marian Balfe, BEAM Services, boring girls, Bloomers, CATU, Coracle, Ciara Davitt, Nina Fitzgerald Graham & Mica Moroney, Cian Lawler, Chloe Maguire (Distro: Live Publishing), Emily Mc Gardle, Niamh Seana Meehan & Lucie McLaughlin, Liliane Puthod & Ingrid Lyons, Queer Shed Sligo and Lily O’Shea. 

Muine Bheag Arts is an artist-run organisation based in a small town in County Carlow that engages with the local context to present projects in the public realm. Guided by values of collaboration and experimentation, Muine Bheag Arts invites dialogue between artists, audiences, community and place.

The programme includes exhibitions, workshops, events, residencies, publishing and radio broadcasts. These platforms provide opportunities for artists to research, test and make through close collaboration with the organisation and members of the local community
