Register for Easter Art Camps in Mallow!
Children ages 6-12 living with long-term health conditions are invited to join Helium Arts for a fun-filled 3 day art camp in Mallow. Free registration opens Monday 21 February and closes Monday 21 March.
Arts to Make You Feel Better
Do you know a child aged 6-12 living with a long-term health condition who would benefit from exploring their creativity, having fun and building friendships in a safe and stimulating environment?
This Art Camp is an Easter Treat!
This spring we will look to nature to spark our curiosity and creativity. We will draw inspiration from the processes of nature to explore individual interests and create a collaborative group project. We will do this through play and artistic experimentation. Let’s explore nature together, get creative and have some fun!
