SUMMARY:Visual Noise Exhibition Launch
DESCRIPTION:Visual Noise is part of our Positive Sounds music development work. It’s a collaboration between local photographers and musicians of all ages and backgrounds: our photographers captured a series of images (many taken right here in Carrick)\, and our musicians composed original pieces inspired by them. \n\nWe wanted to explore how emotion “translates” from one art form to another. While photography and music feel very different\, both are powerful ways to tell a story. By bringing these two worlds together\, we’re encouraging new interpretations of our town and celebrating the incredible creativity found right here in Carrickfergus.\n\n\nThe exhibition has been supported by @meaboroughcouncil Carrickfergus Museum.\n\n\nThe Visual Noise Exhibition launches on Saturday 28th March and runs until 10th April in the Carrickfergus Civic Centre Mall. We invite you to experience this unique celebration of local talent and cross-generational storytelling.

SUMMARY:Around the Town Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Around the Town is a first of its kind festival for Carrickfergus organised by a collective of local musicians and event planners. We have 22 events spanning 9 days with a broad range of music and events to suit everyones tastes – launching with the Grampian Orchestra and finishing with Anna’s Number! \nThe festival originated via Positive Carrickfergus and our monthly conversations for musicians and creatives as they worked together on an arts strategy and program of events for Carrickfergus Town Hall. \nIt became apparent quite quickly that a festival was on everyone’s minds and with the skill\, experience and momentum in the room\, it felt like a wave that we needed to ride while it was with us.  Here we are 6 months later with a crammed program of local music in venues across the town\, each event hosted by a local musician or performer showcasing the life and passions of musicians Around the Town.  \nThe festival is supported by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council\, Department for Communities and National Lottery Community fund. \nTickets are various prices and some events are fee – all tickets can be purchased via the link below
