Curated by 2canDo Arts as part of Designfest 2015 & 2016, Nightlights is a two-hour long invitation to wander through the streets of Clonmel to explore its quirky corners and forgotten buildings, featuring projected work by Irish and International artists against the backdrop of some of Clonmel's most distinctive buildings: the Main Guard's Arches, the Town Hall lobby, Scots Church and a selection of shops, doorways and alleyways. From the Main Guard down to Anglesea Street, works by Deirdre Feeney, Donal O'Ceilleare, Maurice Caplice, Catherine O'Donnell, Adrian O'Connor, Bill Bradshaw, John Bermingham, Paul Kelly and Astrid Walsh and artists from the Switch project transform the townscape into an audio-visual promenade feast.
