OnSight

'Hawthorn Shrine' by Mags Duffy for On Sight 2023

OnSight is a long-established partnership project between the National Museum of Ireland at Turlough Park, Mayo County Council Arts Service and Mayo Artsquad.

The project commissions artists to develop new work in response to the Irish Folklife Collection which is housed and displayed at Turlough Park, Castlebar, Co. Mayo.

Over time, OnSight has evolved across disciplines and outcomes include visual art, installation, performance and poetry. In 2026 - 2027, OnSight will focus on music.
