X-PO X-PO is an innovative community-led, non-profit arts centre based in the former post office in Killinaboy. Eircode: V95X373.

X-PO is an innovative community-led arts centre located in the former post office in Kilnaboy, North Clare. It is a creative social space for exchange of ideas, knowledge, skills and conversations within the community. We host a wide range of arts, heritage and cultural events including:
- A Singers group which exchanges songs and memories each Monday night
- A monthly Skillswop where community members share a creative skill with each other
- X-PO Caidreamh/ Irish language conversation group meeting once a week
- Artist-led interviews and talks
- Heritage talks
- A monthly Open Mic of song, poetry and storytelling
- A monthly Book club
- A Mapping group who have gathered many previously unrecorded local histories

We have also hosted a series of art exhibitions, public art projects and other interdisciplinary events. One of these was Féile Síle na Gig, a day-long event that explored Síle na Gigs through art, archaeology, film and performance. X-PO was originally opened by artist Deirdre O’Mahony in December 2007 as a public art project. Since 2012, the space has been run on a 100% voluntary basis by people in the community. Committee members are a mix of local activists, artists, farmers, writers and more, including Aine O’Regan, Bernadette Malone, Colin Johnston, Éilís Murphy, Eve Campbell, Francis Whelan, Sarah O’Brien, Tadgh O’Sullivan, Tony Kirby, William Hederman. X-PO is a not-for-profit space where all our events are free, ensuring that X-PO is open and accessible to all. We have a wonderful intergenerational mix of visitors aged 1 - 99 years old, creating an important space in the social fabric of North Clare. We are always looking for volunteers to get involved with anything from organising new events to helping make tea! If you would like to volunteer or have an idea that you’d like to make happen, please email [email protected] or chat to one of the X-PO organisers at the next event. The X-PO is sustained by generous donations from visitors; and also by support from Clare County Council.

"ANOTHER EYE -
THE BURREN FROM THE AIR"
ILLUSTRATED TALK by
NICK GEH
X-PO ĶILLINABOY
THURSDAY APRIL 30th 8.30 p.m.

Nick Geh is the guest speaker at X-PO's next heritage talk on
April 30th at 8.30 p.m. The talk is entitled 'Another Eye -The Burren
from the Air".

Nick moved to Gort from England 30 years ago to live out his
passion of caving in the Burren region. Since then he has also been
exploring the Burren from on high in his microlight aircraft.
In that time, he has amassed thousands of photographs of the region.

Nick will showcase a sample of his collection in the X-PO lecture. It
promises to be an evening of unique perspectives of the Burren landscape
and it's archaeology.

The event is free of charge. Donations to X-PO welcome.
