Information for artists wishing to take part in K-Visual 2026
K-Visual is a visual arts festival that can only happen when visiting artists get stuck in. Over three days in September, artists and the people of Killorglin collaborate to showcase selected emerging artists. Your artwork will be presented in found and borrowed spaces throughout the town, from derelict buildings to shops, cafes, pubs and more.
Invigorating Killorglin’s spaces, K-Visual celebrates new art, building new connections and friendships between the artists and the public – and just as importantly – between the participating artists themselves.
Emerging artists
K-Visual welcomes submissions from emerging artists.
An emerging artist is any artist seeking greater visibility, and/or expanding their practice.
