An initiative of Draíocht’s Children and Youth Arts Programme, #ShowUsYourArt invited its young artists aged 2-13 to make paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations and photographic images as a way to stay close and positively engage during the pandemic.
Over a period of twelve weeks between 30 March and 19 June 2020, 326 works were made during lockdown by 164 children from 122 families living on the doorstep of Draíocht in Dublin 15. Portfolios of artworks by the children emerged which investigated and represented their ideas around a range of themes from the experience of different seasonal festivals to the built environment and from the natural world to best friends, family ties and even superheroes. They were exhibited in the Ground Floor Gallery from 20 July-28 August 2020.
Thank you to the children and their families for their extraordinary commitment and enthusiasm.
