Welcome

KELLS A CANVAS OF TYPE

Kells TypeTrail is an annual festival celebrating typography and lettering as a modern art form. Each year one word is chosen and translated into a variety of languages. These translations reflect the diversity of our community in Kells. This year’s word is NOW. We use this word in many ways as an expression in our everyday lives - The here and now, now for yeh, the living in the NOW - it’s important to take stock and realise we must embrace and celebrate our lives, especially NOW that we can once again as a community host this festival in our beautiful heritage town. We have more than 32 installations this year with participants from home and abroad making Kells a canvas of type.
