The Great Book of Gaelic, which is being described as a modern Book of Kells, is to be exhibited around Co Clare from next week.
The Leabhar Mór Project brings together the work of Irish and Scottish artists, poets, calligraphers and typographers.
Some 100 poems were chosen from leading modern Gaelic poets and 100 artists were asked to create work in response to these poems.
The four-year project involves work from artists such as Robert Ballagh, Deirdre O'Mahony, Tom Fitzgerald and Ronnie Hughes.
It was launched in Glasgow in 2002 and was later sent on a five-year touring international exhibition.
It has spawned a website (www.leabharmor.net), a TV documentary, a series of BBC radio programmes, a music CD, and a schools pack.
The project has been developed by the Gaelic Arts Agency "Proiseact Nan Ealan". Its director Malcolm MacLean said the work "celebrates the richness of the Gaelic language and how it is perceived by contemporary artists".
Siobhán Mulcahy, arts officer with Clare County Council, said these links between Gaelic artists were particularly relevant to Clare as the county was twinned with the Scottish Western Isles.
The month-long exhibition will open in the Glór Irish Music Centre, Ennis on Monday and will also be housed at the De Valera Library in Ennis and the new gallery at Ennistymon Courthouse.
