Kinsale Arts Weekend - Poster Competition Winner

The Kinsale Arts Weekend, which will take place from the 7th until the 10th of July 2022, celebrates and showcases the local and emerging talent in the Kinsale and wider community.

The organisation engage with the local community to create the festival’s annual poster advertising campaign. “The design and quality have been to such a high standard that the posters have become a “must have” collectible for many festival fans and indeed poster sales play a significant role in the fund-raising effort that is critical to the overall event.” - Kinsale Arts Weekend Website.

We are delighted to announce that our own fifth year, Ole Lehmann, was chosen as this years winner of the Kinsale Arts Weekend Poster Competition 2022. Art teacher, Christina Roche worked hard with a selection of students to research and experiment with the brief provided by Kinsale Arts Weekend over a period of several months.

The judges remarked on “strength in terms of tight composition, colour palette and detail in hinting at pervious KAW festivals” when choosing Ole as the winner of the poster competition. The winning design ensure that our lovely town of Kinsale is a key feature on the poster, attracting visitors from far and wide.

Congratulations to Ole, Ms Christina Roche and Ms Deirdre Kelly for all their hard work in making this possible.
