A group photography exhibition by Wexford Camera Club
Saturday 2nd – Wednesday 13th August
Wexford Arts Centre
Exhibition Opening: Saturday 2nd August at 12pm
Wexford Arts Centre and Wexford Camera Club are proud to present In the Moment: Capturing the Fleadh 2024, a compelling group photography exhibition that celebrates the vibrant energy and cultural richness of last year’s Fleadh Cheoil. This exhibition showcases the spirit of the festival through the lens of twelve talented photographers, all members of the Wexford Camera Club. The photographers include Darren Arkins, Bart Bulla, Kevin Cadogan, Miriam Furlong, Aoife Kavanagh, Donna Kehoe, Lucy Leonel, Alan Mahon, Ann McCafferty, Ian Moriarty, John Mullins, and Marie Phelan.
The exhibition will take visitors on a visual journey through the event, from lively performances on the Gig Rig, street acts, and authentic pub music sessions to behind-the-scenes moments, honouring the people who made it happen and illustrating the power of music to bring us all together in a shared celebration of art and joy.
Featuring over seventy photographs, the exhibition highlights the diversity of perspectives and the beauty of capturing fleeting, yet powerful, moments in time. It is a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Fleadh Cheoil and its role in preserving and promoting Irish musical heritage.
A public opening reception will be held on Saturday, August 2nd, at 12pm. All are welcome to attend, and the exhibition is open to the public from 10am to 5pm daily.
In the Moment: Capturing the Fleadh 2024 will run at Wexford Arts Centre from Saturday 2nd to Wednesday 13th August, 2025. The exhibition is supported by the Arts Department of Wexford County Council and Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
