Newsflash:  Heritage Council supports www.curator.ie project

The Heritage Council has just confirmed significant support for a photographic project developed by Ciarán Walsh | www.curator.ie. Working with co-curator Dáithi de Mórdha of Ionad an Bhlascaoid Mhóir, they have put together the ‘Headhunter’ project, an education and outreach project that features one of the most important photographic archives to have ever come into the public domain. In its letter the Heritage  Council states that a project like this is ‘critically important in the current climate for the contribution it makes to cultural tourism, education and/or quality of life.

The project has also received significant financial support from the Ionad an Bhlascaoid Mhóir and the Visitor Services Section of The Office of Public Works (OPW).

It will be launched in Ionad an Bhlascaoid Mhóir in May of this year before commencing a tour of some of the most important cultural venues in Ireland.
