Our thanks go to Deborah Birmingham (co-founder of ciarraí art nexus, 04/24-08/26), whose commitment and contribution helped shape c.a.n.
We greatly appreciate the CMAF Festival Committee for their continued trust in c.a.n. as the festival’s arts subcommittee, and for their unwavering support in giving us the freedom and opportunity to bring a vibrant arts programme to the August Weekend.
Our sincere thanks goes to Jeffrey O’Connor for his trust and for giving us the opportunity to bring our events to The Old Penal Church – a unique place that adds something truly special to everything we do there.
Behind every c.a.n. project is a wonderful network of local people who lend a hand – from hammers and nails to ladders and last-minute rescues. A huge thank you to everyone who gives their time, shares their skills and helps make c.a.n. happen.

About Cahersiveen
Cahersiveen is a picturesque small town in County Kerry on the southwest coast of Ireland, nestled between the mountains of the Iveragh Peninsula and the harbour on the Atlantic Ocean. It has been known for centuries as the original Market Town and has retained its flair and authentic character. Landmarks such as the Daniel O'Connell Memorial Church and the historic Old Barracks Heritage Centre are testament to the rich history and culture of this unique community.
With a growing number of artisan stores, galleries, distilleries, cafés and restaurants, the town invites you to stroll and linger.
Cahersiveen is part of the South Kerry Greenway with a trail head carpark at Reenard (south west of Caherciveen) to Glenbeigh in the north east.
