Welcome Fáilte

DIRECTORS Kenneth Campbell Rosaleen O’Donnell Dean McLaughlin

BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2019

A chairde,

Tá lúcháir orainn fáilte a chur romhaibh chuig Fhéile Ealaíon Idirnáisiúnta Mháire An Chlocháin Léith 2019, baile iomráiteach atá suite ar Shlí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin i nDún na nGall.

I mbliana, tá muid ag tapú an deis le taitneamh a bhaint as saibhreas ár n-oidhreachta, ár gcultúir agus ár dtraidisiún. Is é téama na Féile i mbliana ná ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar mhná Dhún na nGall den am atá caite agus den am i láthair. Tarraingíonn ár n-imeachtaí go léir aird ar bhuanna nádúrtha mhuintir Dhún na nGall, cosúil leis an gCeol, na hEalaíona, cursaí Bia, agus cúrsaí drámaíochta.

Mar chathaoirleach na féile, ba mhaith liom buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil leis na hoibrithe deonacha uilig, ina measc Bord na nIontaobhaithe, na coistí uilig, agus na hambasadóirí sráide atá ag obair go dian as a gcruthaitheacht, a bhfís agus a mórtas in san Fhéile.

Do na hurraitheoirí agus na deontóirí, ní bheadh muid in ann é seo a dhéanamh gan sibh, agus b’fhéidir níos tábhachtaí fós, ár mbuíochas do mhuintir an Chlocháin Léith, na Rosann agus ár gcuairteoirí a thagann ar ais, tuigeann muid tábhacht bhur dtacaíocht bliain i ndiaidh bliana.

Cuireann muid fearadh na fáilte romhaibh a bheith linn don ócáid thábhachtach seo agus coinnígí i gcuimhne nach ndéanann duine ar bith féile a eagrú agus a cheiliúradh cosúil le Féile Ealaíon Idirnáisiúnta Mháire an Chlocháin Léith.

Míle buíochas as bhur dtacaíocht.

Anthea Atkinson Cathaoirleach

A chairde,

We are proud to welcome you all to the Mary From Dungloe International Arts Festival 2019 (Féile Ealaíon Idirnáisiúnta Mháire An Chlocháin Léith 2019) located on the Wild Atlantic Way in Donegal.

This year we are taking the opportunity to rejoice in the richness of our heritage, culture and traditions. The theme of the Festival is the celebration of Donegal women, past and present. All our events highlight the natural talents of the people of Donegal, from music, arts, food and theatre.

As the Chairperson of the festival, I would like to thank all the Volunteers, including the Board of Trustees, all the committees and our hard-working street ambassadors for their creativity, vision and pride in the Festival. To the sponsors and donors, we could not do this without you.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, thanks to the people of Dungloe, the Rosses and our returning visitors, we appreciate your year on year support.

Please join us and see for yourself the warmth of a Donegal welcome and remember nobody does a festival like the Mary From Dungloe International Arts Festival.

Míle buíochas as bhur dtacaíocht.

Our volunteers have great fun working at the Festival! Whether it’s ushering our audiences, applying wristbands, looking after performers, making cups of tea and coffee, working in the festival office or taking tickets, we are indebted to all for the invaluable role they continue to play.

If you wish to volunteer, please email us: mfdfestival@gmail.com

PATRONS AND FRIENDS SCHEMEThe Festival relies entirely on annually-sourced grant funding, sponsorship, donations and volunteer support and we, therefore, invite you to join our new Patrons and Friends Scheme.
