Find out more about SEEK Urban Arts Festival:

The festival is centered on promoting visual arts in Dundalk. By commissioning established and emerging artists, locally, nationally and internationally, we aim to promote the town culturally and artistically, repositioning the area as a vibrant hub for creativity.

Seek 2021 will highlight the important influence art can have in the public domain, its role as a catalyst for change, helping reinvigorate and refresh some of our town centre spaces. The themes behind the artwork will be instrumental in telling Dundalk’s story and connecting people to our heritage.

Culturally Dundalk has been shaped over the ages, with many historical figures and events. With our outdoor art gallery we hope to generate and inspire local pride and help to forge a new identity based on creativity while still celebrating our past.
