“Creative Canvas” is an engaging project designed to celebrate Cruinniú na nÓg in County Longford. Through a series of workshops hosted in six libraries, participants will have the opportunity to express their creativity while contributing to the festive atmosphere leading up to the main event on June 15th.

Participants – children aged 5+, will engage in creative activities such as flag-making, bunting, or lantern decoration using acrylics, pastels, tissue paper, newspapers, plastic bottles, and second-hand fabrics. The project aims to foster community engagement, creativity, and environmental consciousness. Each workshop will culminate in a collaborative artwork displayed at the Longford Library on June 15th, enhancing public spaces and promoting cultural enrichment. Additionally, each library will host a small exhibition showcasing participants’ creations.
