An event featuring music, animation, and photographs, will be unveiled next week to mark World Refugee Day in Galway city.

Bumpflakes is a major new exhibition by Nuisancebears, aka Sligo-born sculptor Nick Devaney. The work of Nuisancebears occupies a cultural geography inhabited by the likes of Jimmy Durham and Gabriel Orozco, a land where familiar, everyday objects, and cultural references conspire to create glimpses of alternative possibilities that are both engaging and provocative. Concrete kerbing combines with the likes of cocktail umbrellas, cornflakes consort with speed bumps, an ice-fishing hut provides a life-size studio/laboratory for the implied-but-absent ‘scientist/artist’ author of these works. Admission is free and all are welcome to attend, the exhibition runs until July 3.

So, another brilliant RoolaBoola done and dusted! And as that very dust settles and life at the Linenhall Arts Centre returns to business as usual and what we somewhat ironically refer to as “normality”, we’d just like to offer a big vote of thanks to all our sponsors and volunteers for their support: our sponsors: Mayo Leisure Point, Castlebar Credit Union, Lough Lannagh Village, McDonald’s Castlebar, TJ Gaughan Construction Company Ltd, Elephant Bean Bags, Baxter Healthcare; our funders The Arts Council, Mayo County Council, Castlebar Town Council, Fáilte Ireland, Ireland’s West; The assistance of An Garda Síochana, Civil Defence, HSE Rural Training Centre Castlebar, Bata Fada, Mayo Artsquad, the Tweed Centre Castlebar, Fahey’s Hardware, Woodies DIY, TF Royal Theatre and Event Centre, St Patrick’s Boys’ School, Bettina Peterseil and drummers, our Transition Year volunteers, Access>CINEMA, Children’s Books Ireland, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norwegian Association for Performing Arts, all those who donated books to the Stories Room, all the volunteers for Lough Lannagh Lights, and all who made this another brilliant RoolaBoola experience! And, last but not least, to everyone both young and old who came along and supported all the events so enthusiastically. Thank you all!
