The Luan Gallery and Abbey Road Studios hosted two well attended events in recent times as children from the local community savoured their cultural experiences at both locations.
The events included a children's tour of the current Luan Gallery exhibition ‘PORTALS’ by curator Aoife Banks and ‘Dreamcrafting’ a childrens visual arts workshop, which took place in Abbey Road Studios. The workshop was supported by Westmeath Arts Office and Creative Ireland.
Curated by Aoife Banks, PORTALS is a group exhibition that delves into playful dreamscapes and journeys across fictional realms. Through sculpture, installation, film, mixed media and paint, the artists featured in this exhibition offer pathways into speculative fictions and alternate worlds.
PORTALS embraces the potentiality of technology, fantasy, and the unconscious mind in providing us with portals of escape from the ominous realities of our inner and outer worlds.
The PORTALS exhibition will run until June 22 and is supported by The Arts Council.
