In 2007, Age & Opportunity began inviting established older Irish artists to become Bealtaine Ambassadors. These are artists of the highest rank and reputation, working in diverse creative fields. A number have since taken a mentoring role among groups fostering creativity. The endorsement that our Ambassadors bring to the festival honours all older people who participate in Bealtaine.
The Bealtaine Ambassadors are:
- Robert Ballagh (visual arts)
- Joanna Banks (dance)
- Paddy Cole (music)
- Veronica Dunne (music)
- Jennifer Johnston (literature)
- Eugene McCabe (literature)
- Paddy Moloney (music)
- Eamon Morrissey (theatre)
- Dervla Murphy (literature)
- Geraldine Plunkett (theatre)
- John Quinn (literature)
