Take A Part Carlow is a socially engaged arts collective.

WE MAKE SITE-SPECIFIC AND PEOPLE-SPECIFIC ART WORKS THAT EXPLORE THE STORIES OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES WITH WHOM WE WORK. BASED IN THE TULLOW ROAD AREA OF CARLOW, TAKE A PART CARLOW WORKS TO, UNCOVER SHARED STORIES, HERITAGE AND CULTURAL INTERESTS WHILE CREATING EXCITING AND CHALLENGING ARTS PROJECTS, HAPPENINGS AND EVENTS. WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON TRUSTING OUR ARTISTS AND THE ARTISTIC PROCESS. WE ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO NEW IDEAS AND AIM TO BE VISIONARY IN WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO.

Take A Part Carlow’s work takes many forms - it could be the creation of a new dance form, an art installation, a performance event or a cultural celebration… the possibilities are endless, we never limit ourselves. 

Drawing inspiration from local people, shared history and places, our work is made with and for the local communities and takes place in sites that are pertinent to the work we create. We invite our participants to share their experiences, their creativity and to allow themselves to be challenged through making art, to go on a creative journey with us which just might end in an unexpected destination! Ultimately, we strive to work long-term and to invest in our people, our artists, creators, places and communities.
