‘the side project’ is a creative community who aim to actively inspire and encourage creative folks to work on their passion projects. A side project can be an amazing outlet for creative expression and thanks to COVID-19, there is no better time than now to create.
Originally founded by Caomhán Connelly and Sam Moorhead, ‘the side project’ added some new recruits; Dean Ryan, Kevin McKay and Niamh Ryan in order to bring ‘the inside project’ to life.
After all, while in lock down, we’ve finally got the time to pick up those brushes, and the headspace to write that novel. Right? Well the side project is here to give all creatives a deadline.
‘the inside project’ is an opportunity to get your project out there without getting out there. We are stockpiling the best of creativity in quarantine and curating them into a celebratory showcase, in one online exhibition.
The virtual exhibition will be attended by some of the most influential folks in the creative community, providing us all with a bit of incentive and inspiration, knowing that our quarantine projects will have somewhere to live, and somewhere to be seen.

Post your project on Instagram using #theinsideproject or submit via email at sam@thesideproject.ie Get moving as the deadline for entries is the 15th of May.
