Killarney Credit Union is delighted to announce that entries are now open for the 2023 Credit Union Art Competition.
The theme for this year’s Credit Union Art Competition is ‘My COMMUNITY & Me’. The competition invites participants to create artworks that depict the theme and explore through their own unique lens. We would like our artists to consider their local community and their place within. What makes their community different? Is it the people within it? Is it the beauty they see every day?
