A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood

St Canice’s Neighbourhood Hall cordially Invites you to,

“A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood”
A showcase day for all our service users

On June 20th we are turning one half of our hall into an Art Exhibition space where we will display arts and crafts created by some of our service users such as watercolour paintings, hand-woven baskets and copper-wire jewelry from our service users and a selection of paintings from a neuro-diverse children’s art workshop. We will also be displaying a giant map of Ukraine made out of hand-woven stars for Amber Women’s Refuge “One Million Stars” campaign.

The Exhibition will be open from 11am – 4pm

The other half of our hall will be turned into a mini theatre where we will be hosting 3 different shows throughout the day.
