Draiocht is for you ... A Message from the National Campaign for the Arts

This centre is for you. Without it, and all the ways it makes you feel, Ireland will become a poorer place. Its cost to the state is modest, but its worth is great. It’s also fragile, and cannot endure further cuts. As Budget 2011 approaches, let your elected representatives know just how valuable Draiocht is to you.

A message from the National Campaign for the Arts.

If you value artists and creativity as much as we do, log onto www.ncfa.ie and take action to support the campaign.

Drawing Day 2010 @ Draíocht

Draíocht took part in the National Gallery of Ireland’s Drawing Day once again this year on Saturday May 22nd, and in a new departure we held our first adult workshop as part of the day.

Using Holly Dungan’s exhibition Woodstock as a starting point artists Michelle Hall and Emily Good assisted participants in drawing branches, bark, squirrels, lanterns, leaves and all manor of things you could find in or around trees.

Everyone’s work was then put together to form a large tree on Draíocht’s studio wall.

There was some amazing work done on the day, congratulations to all involved!

Our Final Tree

A BIG thank you to Michelle and Emily who made the day possible
