For 2024 Culture Night - we produced a special film remembering and celebrating the 2020 Covid-19 Legacy Art Project when a community of artists came together to create a magnificent piece of art to honour a loved one or to write a beautiful poem or piece of prose under the theme 'love in action' offering a little comfort to the bereaved families left behind. The film will be screened in the Ormond Castle on Friday September 20, 2024 at 6.30pm. Pre-booking required.
Below are individual videos for each Loved One we are remembering that will give you insight into the creation of each symbolic art piece, in the artists own words.
The full film will be available online after Culture Night screening.
