The Westport branch of the Chernobyl Children’s Project is getting ready for a bumper May bank holiday weekend of art and creativity.

A number of national and international artists will be visiting Ballina this weekend to support the campaign for a new theatre for the town. Part funding of €4.3 million was allocated for the new theatre from the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism; Mayo County Council; and Ballina Town Council at the end of last year. However, in order to secure this funding, a further €500,000 must be raised in the local community by July 2009. A fundraising committee was set up earlier in the year to build on the good work already done by previous interest groups and a number of fundraising events have already taken place.

Celebrated sculptor John Behan is the latest artist to put up a piece of his work for an art auction being organised by the Chernobyl Children’s Project Westport Group which will take place on Friday, May 1 at the Clew Bay Hotel starting at 7.30pm.
