This Summer, The Art Library will travel to Bantry as part of West Cork Literary Festival.

The Art Library is a loan collection of artworks that is available to schools, community hubs and healthcare settings across Ireland. This Summer, The Glucksman is delighted to partner with West Cork Literary Festival for an exciting project to enable children and young people across four Bantry schools to engage with relevant issues of our time with, and through, art.

Admission: Free. All week

These four schools will have the exciting opportunity to loan artworks from the University College Cork Art Collection through our Art Library programme. Artists Amber Broughton, James L. Hayes, Fiona Kelly and Garret Phelan works respond to themes of sustainability and climate change. The young people will explore these works and themes through educational activities and resources created by the Glucksman team to support their creative learning and idea generation. Their creative responses will be displayed in Bantry during the festival period.
