Art is everywhere in West Cork: in the scenery, in the people and in the atmosphere. No matter where you go you are likely to bump into a practitioner or lover of the arts. The eighth Skibbereen Arts Festival pays homage to this vital fabric of the community with literature, exhibitions, symposiums and installations. As well as walks, talks and workshops, there will be family fun days and a spectacular 1960s street party. No matter your age, there truly is something for everyone.
