Magical Creatures County Project - Exhibition at Galway City Library

February 3, 2020 TULCA Festival of Visual Arts

Magical Creatures County Project - Exhibition at Galway City Library

The 2019 festival theme Tactical Magic invited audiences to reflect on the magical effects of art probing the division between truth and reality. The exhibited works drew on intuition, historical beliefs and customs as well as challenging us to consider the historical in contemporary society. 

As part of our Education Programme, two artist facilitators delivered a ‘Magical Creatures’ project within two primary schools that drew on the theme of the festival. The workshops were facilitated by Noel Arrigan with teacher Áine Ní Thuathail and her 3rd class students at Furbo National School. Jennifer Cunningham worked with Neasa O’Dea and her 3rd class students in Cregmore National School.

Students explored the concept of hybrids through drawing, printmaking, use of found objects and recycled materials to create their own modern-day magical creatures that could inform future myths and legends. This work can be viewed in the Galway City Library until the end of February 2020. The project is funded through the Arts Office of Galway County Council and kindly supported by Galway Public Libraries.
