Council turns matchmaker for Culture Night

Cork County Council has turned matchmaker to the region’s artists and venue owners in a bid to connect them ahead of next month’s colourful Culture Night.

Performers and owners of galleries, theatre spaces, and community halls have 10 days to make contact with its project co-ordinator as the local authority moves to organise the programme for culture night on Sept 20.

In 2012, Cork County’s programme saw more than 6,000 people attend free events at over 80 venues. This year, the number of venues is expected to reach 100, with a commensurate rise in audience numbers.
