Working with our arts and cultural partners across the county, Culture Night Tipperary presented a broad range of live and online events throughout the breadth of the county. The Tipperary arts office see Culture Night as an opportunity to promote and support local artists, arts and cultural venues, arts professionals and community groups. Through Culture Night this year we endeavoured to highlight and showcase the range of creative work taking place across the county and in doing so, encourage audiences to connect and engage with the arts in their area. We returned to offering support to community and voluntary groups with our open call, which provided funding for such groups to participate in this year’s programme for the first time since 2019, having worked predominantly with the formal arts infrastructure over the past two years. We developed and coordinated a programme which presented 54 events across 15 Tipperary towns and villages, including exhibitions, workshops, street performances, cultural walks and tours, and community events.
We also welcomed the refocus towards late night activity, and supported organisers and venues in their approach to extended and later events. We saw a number of late-night events taking place including three large scale late night events in Clonmel, produced by the Clonmel Applefest.
A combination of 100 plus arts professionals were involved in the delivery of Culture Night Tipperary 2022.
