Open Call: Celebrating Ten Years of Castles in Communities – Co Roscommon

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

It includes details about a call for art in Ballintober, Co. Roscommon, with a submission deadline of June 21, 2026, and a QR code for further information.

Castles in Communities is a community-engaged research project that has taken place in Ballintober and north Roscommon since 2015.

Inspired by the ancient Irish harvest festival of Lughnasadh, this exhibition explores how art and archaeology gather meaning from the landscape.

Theme: Lughnasadh: gathering the work. Rather than re-enacting ritual or belief, Lughnasadh is used as a conceptual metaphor for transition: the moment when sustained seasonal work is gathered, assessed and shared.

For Castles in Communities, this concept mirrors the close of excavation and survey and the shift into post-excavation analysis, interpretation and public storytelling. After ten field seasons of research, the project stands at its own harvest threshold, where accumulated labour, gratitude for community relationships and archaeological knowledge are gathered and carried forward.

Contributions are invited to this exhibition from artists as well as local residents who notice meaningful details in the landscape – places or moments where history, culture, and everyday life intersect.

One does not need to be a professional artist to submit.

Exhibition will be held on the 24th- 26th of July, 2026, in Ballintober, Co. Roscommon.

Deadline to submit: 21st of June, 2026.
