DELVE is back for a forth and final time this year and this time we’ll be visiting National Circus Festival Ireland (NCFI) in Tralee, Kerry.
DELVE: Discover, Explore, Learn, Visualise and Engage – aims to support artists to experience and be inspired by art through a range of festivals and programmes throughout Ireland. We go, we see, we watch, we listen, we learn, we connect with art and art makers and we get inspired.
At National Circus Festival Ireland two ISACS artists are invited to join Lucy Medlycott – Director of ISACS and experience the festival.
