This year, for the first time, the National Arts Festival will be hosting curated exhibitions at the Monument. The purpose of this initiative is to provide a platform for curated exhibitions in one of the main Festival centres, while bridging the space between the Fringe and Main art programmes. The exhibitions, which have been curated by Carmen Ford, include carefully selected artworks from local and national artists and creative groups, all of which will also be for sale to the public.  

•  All exhibitions will be open from 10:00 to 18:00 daily
