Uillinn Schools Programme 2023/2024

Kilcoe National School, Our Lady of Mercy National School, Dromore National School, Ardagh Boys School, Goleen National School

Edgeland Schools Project takes inspiration from the artwork and themes seen in the recent exhibition Speculative Artefacts by the artist Pascal Ungerer here at Uillinn. 

West Cork Primary Schools were invited to apply to participate in the programme which began with a tour of the Speculative exhibition followed by an art workshop.

Public Engagement Assistant, Petrina Shortt, visited each school and facilitated workshops to help the children develop and make their own artworks in response to the exhibition.
