Creative Places Shannon is bringing a vibrant pop-up creative event to Shannon Town Centre on Saturday 15th February, from 12pm to 4pm. This exciting initiative, led by the Arts Office of Clare County Council and supported by the Arts Council of Ireland through a Research and Development Award, aims to engage the local community in shaping future arts and cultural programmes for Shannon.
The event will feature live music from David Hope and the Shannon Singers Group facilitated by Kathleen Malone creating a lovely atmosphere for all present. Additionally Asha Murray will lead a community engaged arts project encouraging participation and creative expression from people of all ages.
Over the past year Creative Places Shannon has organised a variety of cultural activities to enrich the towns artistic life including art workshops and exhibitions, singing project and the Big Busk, Dance Workshops, Family Fun Days, Clare Mela, Halloween Drama, Public Art Initiative, and a short film documenting the residents of Shannon. A documentary by Cuppa Tea TV featuring all of these projects will be showing at the pop-up event on 15th February.
These efforts reflect a growing commitment to building a local thriving arts scene that resonates with the community. Taking place opposite Dunne’s Stores in the Shannon Town Centre, this pop-up event offers a unique opportunity for the local community to share ideas and aspirations for the arts in Shannon. We hope to engage as many people as possible to help shape a thriving and inclusive arts scene that reflects the town’s identity and creativity.
“We want to hear from the people of Shannon – what kind of arts and cultural events would you like to see happen in your community” said Sheila Quinn the Creative Places Shannon Coordinator. “This event is all about connection, creativity, and collaboration and we encourage everyone to drop by and get involved”.
