Luan Gallery will host a free dreamcrafting workshop for children as part of the national Cruinniú na nÓg celebrations from 11am to 2pm on Saturday, June 10.
The workshop starts at Luan Gallery at 11am with a tour of the current exhibition, PORTALS with curator Aoife Banks where children will explore the artwork’s themes of fantasy and dreamworlds. Following the tour there will be a two-hour visual arts workshop at Abbey Road Artists’ Studios with artist Varvara Vorobei (Artbox ).
In this workshop, children will be guided through the stages of artistic creation from the initial concept to the final output and will be encouraged to use PORTALS exhibition as an inspiration for their dreamcrafting. The children’s creations will be exhibited in Luan Gallery over the weekend of Cruinniú na nÓg (Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11 ).
Cruinniú na nÓg is a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18 and is an initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan. The workshop is supported by Westmeath Arts Office and Creative Ireland.
This free workshop is suitable for children aged 9 to 12 years old. Booking in advance is essential as places are limited. For bookings email: [email protected] or tel: 090 6442154.
