Yarn Bomb - ‘10-Year Celebration’
10-YEAR CELEBRATION!
Kindly sponsored by Life Credit Union
Head down to the Linear Park throughout the month of June for a morning, afternoon or evening of relaxation and enjoyment admiring this year’s Yarn Bomb installation entitled ‘10-Year Celebration’, marking the 10th anniversary of this much-loved annual highlight of June Fest.
The Kildare Yarn Bombers will bring another fantastic display featuring lots of colourful, woolly creations, each one made with love by local knitting and crochet enthusiasts.
Founded in 2016, the Kildare Yarn Bomb engages volunteers from Newbridge and further afield. Thousands of people contribute to this huge installation in the Liffey Linear Park each year.
The yarn bombers always welcome new makers so give them a follow @ Kildare Yarn Bombers.
Photography Exhibition - Down Memory Lane - A Tribute to Vincent Brady
The South Kildare Photography Club will once again be staging a wonderful outdoor exhibition on the railings in the Liffey Linear Park - this year’s title being ‘Down Memory Lane - A Tribute to Vincent Brady’
‘DEPARTURES’ - An Exhibition by Kildare Art Collective
DEPARTURES is a free exhibition at the Riverbank Arts Centre which features the work of Kildare Art Collective members.
As Riverbank Arts Centre enters the beginning of a transitional state, this exhibition focuses on preliminal states: thresholds, the act of taking stock, letting go, and recognising what we have outgrown (roles, objects, identities...) and pausing at the edge of change.
Collaborative Installation, Scrapbook
The collaborative element takes the form of clustered wall-mounted boxes, fragments stored or forgotten. Kildare Art Collective members will create small works exploring things left behind; ideas, objects, identities and/or fragments, and place them within these boxes and leave them. Artists are encouraged to use older unfinished or discarded works as a starting point for this work.
Location: The McKenna Gallery, Riverbank Arts Centre

Art Trail

Local artists have recycled election posters to make some stunning artworks which will be on display during the month of June.
Election posters may not change the world but these paintings might....
