Culture Night 2011 in Laois

Crop Marks – The Ratheniska Project exhibition opened in full for Culture Night 2011 and will remain on display until October 21st in Dunamaise Arts Centre, Portlaoise, in the upstairs ‘Drawing Room’ gallery.

Thanks to the brilliant contributions by the Ratheniska National School children, we had a diverse and fun range of 15 themed pieces from each class, making it a really enjoyable interactive exhibition for children and adults alike.

The pieces included a film (from junior infants and 6th class) shown on the big screen; future portraits from senior infants; a collection of favourite things from 1st; 15 favourite movies from 2nd; random 15 inspired creations from 3rd; ‘Step Back in Time’ history project from 4th and a group illustrated ’15’ poem from 5th.

The ‘junior’ collection is a follow up to the original expo, organised earlier this year by Penhouse (and made special by the many creative contributions) marking our 15 years in the design business.
