Picture Newbridge’s Past, Remembering Newbridge’s History

Come along to the Whitewater for the opening of June Fest or throughout the month of June to view this wonderful photography exhibition by John Armstrong.

TOUCH is a free exhibition at the Riverbank Arts Centre which features the work of Kildare Art Collective members exploring ‘Touch’ in all its forms - physical, emotional, symbolic.

Touch is the first sense we develop, it’s how we connect, explore and understand. It anchors us in the world.

Each artwork in this exhibition is tactile and designed to be physically touched, encouraging direct engagement and interaction.

There is the option of an audio tour and artwork information will be available in braille, ensuring that ‘Touch’ becomes a shared experience across different sensory perspectives.

Official opening Saturday 31st May, 6pm – all welcome!

Head to the road opposite the Liffey Linear Park (down to Newbridge Library) for this great 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....

LOOK WHAT I MADE!

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 ‘Look What I Made’.

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.
