Tuam Artist Spotlight

The Tuam Artist Spotlight is a rolling programme celebrating the artists, makers, musicians, performers, writers, filmmakers, creatives and cultural contributors living and working in Tuam and its surrounding areas.

Tuam has an incredible wealth of creative talent. From painters to poets, musicians to theatre makers, textile artists to filmmakers, photographers to community creatives, artists play a vital role in shaping the identity and cultural life of our town. The Tuam Artist Spotlight aims to shine a light on that creativity.

Selected artists are featured through:

• A two-week public display in Connaughtons windows on Shop Street, Tuam
• An online Artist Spotlight profile shared across Creative Places Tuam’s website and social media channels
• A fun and informal artist interview featuring a modern take on the famous Proust Questionnaire
