Ormston House is a meeting place for the arts in the heart of Limerick City. Our programme is co-designed with artists and citizens, resulting in community partnerships, multi-annual projects, and cultural events that are responsive to the city and its context. We have developed a participatory model to connect curatorial practice with local knowledge and activism.
Mícheál is a musician, composer, producer and multimedia artist from rural West Limerick. He is the lead singer and producer of the band Bleeding Heart Pigeons, who have released critically acclaimed LPs both in the mainstream music industry (with Virgin Records) and as an independent DIY act.
Admission is free and the event is open to all of the public.
