Edition VII features work by artists from Uíbh Ráthach in County Kerry, Ireland. The artists featured in Tintreach will present a selection of readings and discuss their work. Meet and greet with the artists and with Féilim James, Writer and Editor of Tintreach: The Smashing Times Arts and Literary Journal.
