Stiúideo Cuan Artists in Residence 2025
Weekly public performances by four artists in residence at Stiúideo Cuan, An Spidéal, featuring song, poetry, music and storytelling.
Stiúideo Cuan in An Spidéal has announced its Artists in Residence programme for 2025, featuring four accomplished artists: sean-nós singer and actor Mairéad Ní Fhlatharta, actor and writer Diarmuid de Faoite, poet and playwright Máire Holmes, and musician and writer Toner Quinn. The residency involves weekly public events every Thursday evening at 8pm, starting October 2nd and continuing through December 2025. These free admission events will explore various art forms including song, poetry, music and storytelling in an intimate setting described as somewhere between a concert and a session. Each artist brings significant experience: Ní Fhlatharta is Sean-Nós Singer-in-Residence at University of Galway; de Faoite has been nominated for an IFTA and appeared in notable films; Holmes has published poetry collections and written plays for stage and radio; and Quinn is a traditional fiddle player and music writer who has released albums and published essays on Irish music. The programme offers audiences a unique opportunity to experience diverse Irish artistic traditions in a collaborative, informal atmosphere that celebrates the interconnection of different art forms.
