J O U R N E Y S – An Art Exhibition by Young Creators

This year, Helium Arts is proud to present two showcases, in Dublin and Ennis, that highlight our growing work in the area of inclusion health, which supports children at risk of social exclusion.

These events are inspired by, and feature artworks created by young people with lifelong physical health conditions. The work was developed by children attending Paediatric Inclusion Health Clinics—both in the MidWest and at Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) at Temple Street in Dublin —as well as through Helium Arts’ community workshops in the MidWest.

Join us to celebrate these amazing young people and their creative journeys. Discover their stories through art.

Admission is free, and everyone is welcome!

Both showcases will also feature fun, free activities for all ages — so bring your family and friends along and be part of the celebration!
