Creative Spark Downtown Hub on Clanbrassil St in Dundalk celebrated International Women's Day (IWD) with an event last Wednesday night.

The hub held a Pop-Up event of its “Decade of Centenaries' Book Exhibition” which was accompanied by talks from the artists involved about the project, their processes and their inspirations.

The Decade of Centenaries project brought together 15 local artists who each created a unique handmade artist book in response to the collection at the Louth Archives.
