As part of One Donegal Cultural Diversity Month, Beo is running a weeklong art workshop for transition year students.
This workshop, titled ‘Saol Sráide’ (English:‘Street Life’), aims to get students out of the classroom and into a studio workshop where they will make a series of photographs and sculptures inspired by the streets of Letterkenny.
Thirty students from different ethnic backgrounds will take part in the event, which will be hosted by renowned London based artist, Keith Winter.
‘Saol Sráide’ will run in the Regional Cultural Centre in Letterkenny between November 12th and 16th. The completed works will be unveiled during a Beo live music event in the Regional Cultural Centre in Letterkenny at 7:30pm on Friday the 16th of November.
Acts performing at the event include More Than Conquerors and Not Squares. An exhibition of the work will then be held in the RCC and will be open to the general public.
This project has been supported by the European Union’s European Regional Development Fund, through the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by Donegal County Council.
This project is being delivered as part of Donegal CDB Peace and Reconciliation Partnership’s One Donegal Cultural Diversity Month – Embracing and Celebrating Diversity.
