Creative Communities

Following the success of this event last year, the Well Festival partners, together with the Creative Ireland Waterford programme, are delighted to present a getting-to-know you gathering to explore arts and wellbeing in Waterford. Showcasing the work of local creative organisations, individuals and community service providers, this event aims to foster collaboration and spark new initiatives. Presentations will be followed by the opportunity to ask questions and make connections.

Open to all, but particularly relevant to anyone working, or interested in getting involved in the arts in Waterford City and County.
