Marian Balfe is an artist from the midlands of Ireland. Her practice is wide-ranging and explores how painting, writing, sculpture, and printed ephemera may be used to reflect on place, identity, and value systems in society.

Muine Bheag Arts is pleased to present COMMUNE from 15th – 25th August 2025. Taking place in and around the Muine Bheag Community Centre, the programme unfolds as a collection of live events, workshops and public interventions.

COMMUNE is a site for assembling and disseminating ideas, emerging from a central studio and gathering space shared by artists, community groups, collaborators and graduates-in-residence. COMMUNE can be understood as a series of small collective actions and gestures which reach towards systems of support and connection.

COMMUNE is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Carlow Arts Office, Creative Ireland Carlow and Bagenalstown Creative Places.
