Still taking it all in…

Retrospect Arts Festival wouldn’t have been what it was without the people who filled it with energy, creativity, and care. To everyone who came, supported, performed, collaborated, or simply showed up with curiosity, thank you. You helped shape something that felt genuinely special.

We’re so grateful to the artists and contributors who trusted us with their work, and to those behind the scenes who made sure everything ran as it should. Your time, effort, and belief in the festival made all the difference.

We couldn’t have done it without Dr Marie Kelly, Yvonne Coughlan, and Meg Ahearne support, guidance, and mentorship throughout the programme. A special thank you to Eibhlín Gleeson, Cork Opera House CEO, for letting us bring to life this project in this amazing venue.

We hope you left with memories, ideas, and connections that last.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Retrospect Arts Festival
