Have a Gawk! Free art workshop for adults of all ages to begin in Carlow

Have you ever wondered what art was all about, or would you like to learn more about artists and exhibitions in a relaxed, fun environment?

These weekly sessions take place on Friday afternoons at VISUAL from 2pm – 3:30pm. Artist Mary Jo Gilligan will bring the group through the exhibitions with a different topic of focus each week. There will be conversations about the exhibitions and playful making sessions exploring different techniques, followed by tea and coffee.
