Local artist Lynn Kirkham will work in collaboration with groups and individuals from the Templemore area to create a unique, Bealtaine Art Trail for Templemore Town Park. Lynn will host a number of fun multimedia creative workshops within and inspired by the beautiful environment of the park. The project will offer a change for participants to experience real connection with nature and each other, exploring our roles as guardians, protecting and appreciating our park, our heritage and our planet through creative action. Working together, sharing skills and exploring a range of simple media including natural materials, clay, fabric, fibre, charcoal and paint are the main goals of the project.

A Temporary Art Trail created by the groups launches on Saturday 2nd May. The trail will remain on public display in Templemore Park throughout Bealtaine, the month of May, in this celebration of nature, community and the joy of active creative expression.
