Artlink celebrates Community Arts Day

Published Date: 10 February 2009
Artlink, a visual arts organisation based in Inishowen, is taking part
in the 3rd World Community Arts Day on Tuesday next, February 17, 2009.
The idea behind the event is to create a World Festival Society for a
day. The first two years of World Community Arts Day have seen events
from as far as Brazil, Slovenia, Scotland, Australia, USA, Mexico and
as well as here in Ireland taking part.

On this day hundreds of artists and communities worldwide will use the
theme of "art as a catalyst for caring and sharing" as the basis for
the activities arranged on the day.
Artlink is delighted at joining the rest of the world to celebrate
this important and exciting day. Education Officer Cróna Lynch of
Artlink says: "We are hosting free drop-in art and craft workshops for
the community to celebrate this day".
Two workshops will be held on the day, both from 1pm â€" 3pm in the
Artlink studios, with well-established artists Joanna McGlynn and
Franck Saucian. "Joanna will have fun creating lots of crafts with
toddlers, children and their parents in the basement studio, while
Franck will help adults explore their inner creativity with a drawing
and painting workshop in the upstairs studio" said Cróna.
These workshops are completely free for this one off event to
celebrate World Community Arts Day 2009! They will take place at the
Artlink studios in Tullyarvan Mill, Buncrana. The workshops are
drop-in, however if you would like to book ahead as workshops may fill
up fast then please contact Cróna at Artlink on +353 (0) 74 93 63469
