The 12th Múscailt Arts Festival at NUI Galway invites all students, staff, alumni and the public to enjoy music, performance and art on campus. The new Student Centre, the Bailey Allen Wing, will be the central focus of Múscailt 2012. The theme this year will be ‘Illumination / Soilsiú’, which represents a bursting forth of ideas from all of the art forms. Múscailt 2012 will be provocative and fun and there is room for interaction, debate and feedback throughout the week. Everyone is welcome to participate and most events are free of charge.
This year there are many special guests, including Shannon Reeves, Sculptor, and Rolf Hind, Pianist, who will have the fruit of their explorations shown and discussed during Múscailt. Almost all events are free. All welcome. Múscailt is organised by the Arts Office at NUI Galway.
In these financially tight times, it is important and fulfilling to encourage emerging performers and artists, working in both Irish and English, who are edgy and original. The artists featured in this year’s 12th Múscailt Festival are definitely making waves.
Festival open to all students, staff, alumni and the general public.
Festival runs from 6th to 12th February 2012.
