The Fire in Me Now…. Series of writing and art workshops

Perhaps my best years are gone.   When there was a chance of happiness.  But I wouldn’t want them back.  Not with the fire in me now.  No, I wouldn’t want them back.’  Samuel Beckett.

‘The Fire in Me Now’ is a series of writing and art workshops and discussions championing the older artist and engaging and facilitating creative expression through poetry, and visual art for the older person.

Through the support of Creative Ireland Programme, Mountshannon Arts is offering participants the opportunity to partake in two workshops.  One each with writer and poet Ron Carey and art therapist Margaret Curran.

The project will culminate in an event celebrating the older artist at the Mountshannon Arts Festival in June 2023.

At the end it is envisaged that the workshop participants will have a poem and will have created a piece of visual art.

Places are free but space is limited.  The workshops will take place in May 2023.  Please contact mountshannonpoetry@gmail.com by April 15th to register your interest.
