December Listings

The December listings are now available on the website and as usual there is lots to do over the coming month. The Carnegie Arts Centre in Kenmare has recently opened its doors and they have organised a wide variety of events beginning with a Group Show exhibition which runs from the 5th December – 30th January and features artists such as Pauline Bewick, Christine Bowen, Gearóid O’Shea, Joe Thoma and Claudio Viscardi.

Pauline Bewick is also one of 13 artists who generously donated a piece of artwork to the Setsoto Design in Lesotho who then recreated the artwork into woven tapestries. The tapestries will be auctioned in the “Woven Art Auction” in Tech Amergin, Waterville on 13th December at 7.00pm. The money raised goes towards Setsoto Design a community-based business established in 1956 in Teyateyaneng (usually known as TY) in Lesotho, where 72 women are employed as spinners, dyers and weavers.

Ballet Ireland will be in Tralee on the 13th December performing Swan Lake, Sharon Shannon and Mundy will be playing on New Year’s Eve at the INEC in Killarney and the annual Wren Festival takes place on the 26th December in Dingle. Other holiday events include the Kerry Choral Union Christmas concert on the 14th December, craft fairs in Tralee, Listowel and Killarney and of course what is Christmas without a Panto or two. There is plenty to choose from this December.

In addition to the listing for Kerry you will also find information on events from the University Concert Hall in Limerick, the Everyman Palace Theatre in Cork and the Cork City Limits Comedy Club. Enjoy...
