Council Arts Office launches new website

Kerry County Council Arts Office is delighted to announce the launch of their new arts website.
The Arts Office team worked closely with Kerry County Council’s IT Department to create a visually striking one-stop place for everything associated with the arts in Kerry.
Members of the public will be able to see the latest information on Artist Residencies, the Sliabh Luachra Music Trail, Youth Arts, Festivals & Events, Film, Public & Visual Art, Creative Ireland, Cruinniú na nÓg and Culture Night, read arts publications and find out how to contact the Arts Office. Particularly of interest to artists will be the Forms & Funding section with details on how to apply for the Arts Act Grant and Artist Bursaries, and the Arts Database which they can add their details to. The External Links section has over 75 helpful links to Government arts organisations, European arts organisations, national organisations representing each art form and arts venues. Links to the Arts Office’s social media and to sign up to the fortnightly e-newsletter will also be of benefit to everyone, in order to hear about upcoming events and funding opportunities, both from Kerry County Council and from national organisations.
Accessing the website is a lot easier, as it is now an independent website, so it no longer needs to be accessed via a drop down on the main Council’s website. The website is now live and can be accessed at arts.kerrycoco.ie.

Local Hollywood A-lister Michael Fassbender is in the final preparation stages for his second appearance at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The iconic endurance race is celebrating its 100th edition next weekend.
The Fossa star has already arrived in the famous French twon where he is involved in a week-long series of engagements including drivers’ parades, autograph sessions and more serious appointments like car safety checks, practice and qualifying.
Like last year, when he finished 16th in the LMGTE Am class, Fassbender has been entered in to the event by the German Proton Competition team with Estonian Martin Rump and the Austrian Richard Lietz.
Fassbender dreams of following the trajectory of fellow Hollywood actors Patrick Dempsey who was second in LMGTE Am class in 2016 and Paul Newman who finished second overall in 1979.
