Cork Community Art Link is a Community Arts Organisation and registered Charity in Cork, Ireland

We encourage meaningful collaborations between artists and people that result in the creation of great art, bringing creativity to places where people live, work and play
​
We work with people to create a sense of community identity and collective pride enabling people to learn more about themselves and the world around them all the while having fun
​
Our work engages people both as participants and spectators in public spaces, developing new ways of connecting with the arts and encouraging them to come along, learn new skills and make a creative contribution to the community

Some of our recent Projects

Patrick's

​Day

CCAL have a long history of participation in the St Patrick's Day Parade. In 2022 we created a spectacular series of floats, props and puppets in collaboration with local groups for the return of the parade after a 2 year break.

Rebel

​Streets

The Rebel Streets project engages communities on the street where they live, work and play. In 2021 we painted a mural for Traveller Visibility Group and more, kindly supported by Creative Ireland.

Dragon of 

​Shandon


Each year, Cork’s Northside lights up with a celebration of the living and the dead, with an assortment of creatures from the underworld roaming the streets.

In 2021, the Dragon of Shandon took the form of an installation trail, treasure map, and live performances.

Help Support Us

We have created amazing community art projects that have involved thousands of participants over the past 28 years, including our monumental annual Halloween event - The Dragon of Shandon Parade - which brought over 15,000 spectators to the streets in 2018!
