GASP artists @ Culture Night

The Magic of Cinema is a participatory film project between GASP artists and visual artist Linda Curtin. As part of the project, each artist was invited to respond to the various elements of cinema – the screen, the projector, the auditorium and the spectator. You can watch a teaser of the movie during culture night.  

Yvonne Condon will draw speed portraits and although Íde N Shúilleabháin will not be present in person, she will lead an art activity for the public. How? Come and see.
