Trinity Arts Festival

Trinity Arts Festival (TAF) is a celebration of the creative arts within the student community. The Festival was established by a group of students in Trinity College Dublin in 2006. The goal of the festival is to highlight and cultivate the creative dimension of the student community, drawing on the talent already existent within the arts-based student societies in Trinity College Dublin. The festival intends to offer a dynamic approach to the arts.[1]

Past Festival Directors have included Pearl O'Sullivan (Founder) in 2006, Dylan Haskins (2010), Sarah O'Neill (2014), Martha Fitzgerald (2016), Shannon Buckley-Barnes (2017) and Kate Haley (2018).
