POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
For two weeks every July, Galway asks different questions.

“Have you been to much of the festival?”
“What have you seen?”

The weather becomes almost secondary.

My own answer usually involved another cycle along the canal to Bailey Allen Hall for the First Thought Talks. Under Caitríona Crowe’s thoughtful curation, they are never simply talks. They are opportunities to hear directly from people living the stories we usually encounter only in headlines. You leave understanding the world a little better and, often, yourself too.

That is the quiet power of Galway International Arts Festival. It doesn’t just bring world class artists and thinkers to our city. For a little while, it changes the conversation of the city itself.
