	Download Rules Here Online Application Form Click Here About the project Just imagine if Kinsale had its own arts venue. What a tremendous asset this would be to the community, providing a place for theatre, dance and music, along with areas for workshops, teaching rooms, a gallery and a cultural information centre, it might also include a cinema, shop, café and arts library as well as other facilities, for all ages. There is no obvious building in Kinsale for this venue so an opportunity exists to create an exciting and innovative solution.

The Design an Arts Venue for Kinsale project is a competition, organised by Kinsale Arts Week 2006, which is open to everyone aged 13+ and living in County Cork, entries will be accepted from individuals or teams. There are two categories; youth (under 18) and adult, with a prize for the winner of each category. This is a fantastic opportunity for budding designers, architects or anyone with a creative vision for Kinsale. And who knows, perhaps one day that vision could become a reality!
