About the Celtic Junction Arts Review

Print 🖨

Archiving and articulating Celtic heritage is the motto for the Celtic Junction Arts Review, the online quarterly cultural magazine produced by the Celtic Junction Arts Center, edited by Patrick O’Donnell, and designed by Carillon RoseMeadows. Founded in August 2017, the Arts Review is filled with original articles on topics related to the activities within the walls of the Celtic Junction as well as the happenings in the larger Irish and Celtic community – locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. It also showcases the writing, poetry, and visual arts of creative people. Linked primarily to CJAC’s Education Program and augmenting the day-to-day activities of the Celtic Junction, the Arts Review articulates the “big picture” of how Irish and Celtic culture is deepening and broadening its global footprint. The purpose of the Arts Review is to record the history and contexts of the Celtic arts and their traditions and to support the knowledge journeys of our community of learners. The categories of articles include the Irish language, history and literature, and the creative arts.
