Pride in Kilkenny 2021: Out of the Closet
Event Information
About this event
In 2020 Butler Gallery moved to its new location at Evans’ Home on John’s Quay, Kilkenny. This momentous occasion has afforded the gallery the chance to reach out beyond its walls to invite and welcome a vast array of communities and audiences to take part in a new chapter of life for the gallery. June is Pride month and to mark this special occasion the gallery is teaming up with Kilkennny Leader Partnership to programme a series of events and activities which will be just the start of a prolonged process of mutual cultural and artistic engagement with LGBTQ communities across Kilkenny and further afield.
Every place has its own Yellow Brick Road with good and bad surprises along the way. Join singer/performer Ciaran O’Neill aka Captain Anchor in a fringe cabaret musical as he brings guests on a journey that describes the ups and downs of growing up gay in rural Ireland.
