The Kenmare Arts Festival is funded, hosted and organised by Mill Cove Gallery and depends solely on community good will and volunteers.
If you have an event or workshop you would like to add to the festival please contact John Goode at Mil Cover Gallery. Whilst the event should be self funded John will be glad to help and support the event and include it in the festival brochure.
