What is Louth Culture Quest?

In 2050, art and culture as we know it has been destroyed by rolling pandemics, political unrest and climate change. A custodian of art from this dystopian future has placed 20 surviving artworks around County Louth for safe keeping.

To ensure the future survival of art and culture, you must solve the clues, find the artworks and discover what happens between now and 2050 as you unlock the story behind the Louth Culture Quest.  

Louth Culture Quest is produced by An Táin Arts Centre and funded by the Arts Council In the Open / Faoin Spéir in partnership with Louth County Council.
