Creative Journeys – 2022 Summer Showcase of Artworks Cork

This past June 2022, as part of Cruinniú na nÓg, we were delighted to hold an exhibition of children’s art made with artist Ashleigh Ellis, from the Helium Arts Spring workshops 2022 in the Tory Top Library in Cork.

The exhibition was named ‘Creative Journeys’.   The exhibition included a hunt for hidden images in the library; a chance to explore the cabinet of curiosities and get creative with clay and stencils in the garden.

Among the distinguished guests who attended the exhibition was An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin.

You can see some images of the artworks exhibition below.
