Wow this Summer went by so fast! As we get back to school this week we are looking back at a summer of sun, fun and friendships with Helium Arts.
SUMMER ART CAMPS (ages 6-12)
We were delighted to return to our Spring venues in Limerick, Cork, Mallow and Galway for our Summer Art Camps. We also got the chance to bring our camps to Castlebar and Ennis for the first time! It was wonderful to meet so many new children and families. Across these 6 locations, the children, aged 6-12, created some beautiful artwork alongside our professional artists. Check out our Social Media pages, @HeliumArts where some images of the art created were posted, throughout the Summer, for everyone to enjoy.
TEEN MEET UPS (ages 13-18)
In August, we held in person Teen Meet Ups in Limerick, Cork and Galway. Our teen participants paid a visit to an exhibition and made art based on it in Galway, created Eco Art in Cork, and made collaged portrait silhouette boxes in Limerick. We are looking forward to holding more Teen Meet Ups this November.
The highlights of the Summer Programme included:
- 6 Locations / 33 Workshops – our biggest number of location/workshops so far!
- 53 Children & 8 Teens – the total number of young people who engaged with our Summer Programmes.
- 2 New Locations – the first time Helium has provided workshops in Castlebar and Ennis.
