Kerry Arts Ball
Celebrating The Arts & Culture in Our Community
The Kerry Arts Ball is a prestigious celebration dedicated to championing the incredible arts, culture and creative talent within our county. Bringing together artists, performers, creatives, patrons, businesses and arts enthusiasts, the Ball is an evening of elegance, entertainment, connection and purpose.
Our vision is to bring Kerry’s arts and cultural community together, creating a platform where local talent can be celebrated, recognised and supported. From music and visual arts to theatre, dance and live performance, the Kerry Arts Ball shines a spotlight on the remarkable creativity that exists throughout our county.
But the Kerry Arts Ball is about more than one unforgettable evening. It is about community, inclusion, opportunity and making a difference. Through the generosity of our guests, sponsors, performers and supporters, we are proud to raise vital funds for charitable causes while helping to support and celebrate the arts within Kerry.
2026 has surpassed our vision as we are absolutely honoured, humbled and delighted to share that the Kerry Arts Ball has been selected as a finalist in TWO categories at the Golden Dance Awards Ireland!
Community Engagement Award Project/Initiative of the Year
€ - Amount Raised So Far!
Across our Kerry Arts Balls to date, we are incredibly proud to have raised a combined €6,725.87 for Jigsaw Kerry Youth Mental Health. This incredible achievement demonstrates what can happen when a community comes together behind the arts and a cause that truly matters.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has attended, donated, sponsored, performed, volunteered and supported us throughout this journey. Your generosity, encouragement and belief in our vision have helped make the Kerry Arts Ball what it is today.
This recognition means so much to everyone involved in bringing the Kerry Arts Ball to life. What began as a celebration of creativity, community, inclusion and the arts has grown into something truly special — connecting people, championing local talent and creating positive impact throughout our community.
And there’s even more to celebrate!
To be recognised in both the Community Engagement Award and Project/Initiative of the Year categories, alongside so many inspiring projects from across Ireland, is a tremendous honour. We’re looking forward to celebrating with our fellow finalists in September!
But this is only the beginning…
