Art Exhibition
Along with the ECO SHOWBOAT Programme of Events, the Library will also host a Biodiversity Art Exhibition which is a collaboration between Sallins Biodiversity Group and St Laurence’s N.S. #MapOfLife2022 was a community project to learn about and record biodiversity in Sallins. Sallins Biodiversity Group encouraged residents of all ages to participate in Nature & Art workshops and then to record local wildlife through art and citizen science. It featured 20+ artists and groups including the National Museum of Ireland, #SundayFishSketch online art project, The Herpetological Society and An Garraí Beag (Down Syndrome Kildare), McAuley Place as well as local artists such as Joanne Murray and the Green Roots Project. The project was fully embraced by St Laurence's National School. All 24 classes in the school welcomed an artist or scientist to their classroom. All events were provided free of charge to participants. Drop-in. No booking required.
