Poetry In Motion Allingham 2014

On Thursday 6th Nov 2014 in the Abbey Centre, Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, visitors to The Allingham Festival had an opportunity to experience a unique cinematic screening of a moving image/animation response to the poems of William Allingham, created by the final year ‪#‎designatmagee‬ students from the School of Creative Arts & Technologies, Magee, University Of Ulster and students from LYIT.

Neishaw Ali of SpinVFX and Kevin & Danny from Uproar Comics form the judging panel this year and the results will be announced in late November 2014. The selected students will be part of a creative project/workshop/film/animation taking place in 2015 to be screened at Allingham 2015. The subject of this film is untitled at present and two projects are currently being considered.

This project will be sponsored by 'The Allingham Project'.
We are seeking further funding for this workshop. To donate to the project, please email allinghamfest@gmail.com.

This video showcases all entries submitted on time, the results reel will be shared in late Nov. Please feel free to voice opinion here on your favourites!

Allingham Inspires Creative Enterprise!!!

Now that was quicker than expected! 
(Although we know she had this one cooking for a while)

One of our workshop facilitators, Donna Lynch, just launched her creative arts & crafts start up business today. If anyone attended the felt making workshop, I'm sure you'll agree that her workshops are fantastic. Good luck on your new venture Donna. Or should we call you 'artybird'.

You may have spotted some of 'arty bird's' work on the Art Trail in Slevins coffeeshop. She will be selling online in early Dec.
Stay posted.
