Exhibition: Generation at the Sirius Arts Centre

Generation at the Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Co. Cork.

(27.03.15-26.04.15)

Generation is a public participation project with GASP (Glasheen Art Studio Program). The project invited people of varying ages to create works on the subject of age; the work of both children and older people are presented together, portraying the curiosity and magic of childhood through to the experience of those in later years. The project provides opportunities for people from different generations to meet, interact and support each other's creative process. Generation is in collaboration with St. Luke's Nursing Home in Cork and Cork Educate Together National School. 

Katie Whelan exhibited one of her paintings as part of this exhibition. "Love" is the strongest theme in her paintings and this fit well in the exhibition that strived to tell stories of age, people and emotions.
