Clonmel Junction Arts Festival started almost 20 years ago as a celebration of touring theatre and live music. Over the years, it has grown into a week-long arts festival where national and international acts share a stage with some of the best local talent.
Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, one of the key arts events of the summer in the South-East, is currently underway – but in a re-worked and re-imagined fashion. With a theme of 2020:Visionaries, the festival will bring its audience a host of events from 4th – 12th July that are taking place in a virtual context, as well as a series of visual arts events in the town itself.
I had the opportunity to chat with some of the large team of people who are making it all happen, from the festival hub/studio in O’Connell St, who shared with me some of their personal highlights and the challenges of adapting to the new circumstances.

A huge thanks to Elizabeth Bartley, James O'Donovan, Alan McCormack, Eoin Barry & Colin Everitt for sharing their valuable
time. Please support their hard work by visiting www.junctionfestival.com and/or following the festival through their social media channels, bookings can be made for events through https://www.eventbrite.ie/o/clonmel-junction-arts-festival-19982185981
