SEEK Urban Arts Festival announces further artists for 2023

REtURNiNG for its fifth year, SEEK Urban Arts Festival will welcome acclaimed street artists from around the world to Dundalk this summer. the festival kicks off on Saturday 1st July, promising a week-long celebration of art and culture in the town. year on year, the festival aspires to reconnect Dundalk to unique stories from our historical past, and 2023 will be no exception. this year SEEK will explore themes around Dundalk’s traditional railway industry, our myths and legends, our beautiful geographic location, and our feisty womenfolk!

the festival has already revealed that the award-winning Studio Giftig will bring the story of Roesia de verdun to life, and today it is delighted to announce that Mack Signs will work on a project celebrating the long and rich railway heritage of the town. Working with Dundalk the site for this mural is the striking newly-built Coláiste Cuchulainn and the students at the school will have an opportunity to engage with the creative process while the mural is being made.

This year’s SEEK Festival takes place in July.

Railway Society and Louth Archives Services, the artist will have access to some of the amazing blueprints for the engines and carriages designed and made at ‘the works’ here in Dundalk.

Creative Spark Print Studio will provide an insight into the magic of blueprints with a series of cyanotype workshops at the school. there is something for everyone at the festival this year as the hugely popular children’s creative workshops and free festival guided walking tours. this festival is spearheaded by a partnership of Dundalk BiDS and Creative Spark, and receives key funding and sponsorship from Creative ireland and Colourtrend. it would not be possible without the support and input from many local community, lA rge gA s B A r B eque for sale.
