AKA is run exclusively by a committee of volunteers from the arts and community development sector in Kilkenny. AKA recognises that cultural initiatives create high impact when they are community focused and community led therefore our objective is to establish a connection between artists, musicians, craftspeople, and their respective audiences with a core aim of promoting Tourism across county Kilkenny.An online submission form for the festival will be disseminated in April-May 2024. Online projects will be accessible through the AKA website and artists own platforms of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n
