As part of Roscommon Arts Centre’s successful Visual Art Tours & Workshops programme, Boyle-based artist and curator Linda Shevlin will host a series of gallery tours and workshops to coincide with exhibitions in the gallery throughout spring. These free tours and workshops are open to all visual art interest groups, school groups, active retirement groups, groups of friends, and just about anyone else young or old interested in learning more about the work on show in the gallery. The free informal tours of the exhibitions aim to create opportunities for people to learn and engage with the work in an informal, relaxed, and fun setting. Tours of the exhibition are followed by a free workshop, where you have a chance to get creative and form your very own artwork, using some of the methods and inspirations similar to those used by the artist in the exhibition. Experiment, engage, and explore using easily accessible materials to develop your own individual/group artwork.
