Basking Workshops with Tom Meskell

Workshop

Become an artist as part of this year’s Cruinniú na nÓg celebrations at Roscommon Arts Centre!

Join artist Tom Meskell as he creates a stunning new exhibition, “Basking”, as part of our Visual Arts exhibition programme.

We’re inviting local young people and families to join one of our making sessions. Your work will feature as part of the exhibition which opens Friday 13th June, which you are invited to.

“Basking” is a celebration of both the resilience of nature and the power of community.

The exhibition will feature a life-sized lantern sculpture of a basking shark, surrounded by over 60 shell-like lantern structures, all crafted from willow and tissue paper and lit from within. Featuring a soundscape by renowned artists Colm Ó Snodaigh and Brian Hogan.
