The famous Spraoi international street arts festival in Waterford is undergoing a radical overhaul this year. The street arts and spectacle company is planning to unveil ‘prism’ this summer, a large scale art installation and temporary performance space. It emerged this week that Waterford Spraoi was awarded a grant of €385,000 by the Arts Council, which announced its new key strategic funding round. Mr Honan said the initial plan had been to launch the ‘prism’ spectacle in March, but Level 5 restrictions meant it was deferred. Instead, Spraoi will create a season of weekend performances at different locations throughout county Waterford.
