Galway Arts Centre is excited to announce its participation in “Thursday Lates,” a six-month pilot programme developed in partnership with Galway City Council to extend their opening hours to provide greater access to arts and culture in Galway City outside of traditional working hours. Starting 3rd of April, the Centre will remain open every Thursday evening from 5pm to 9pm, for a six-month period.

A series of free, family-friendly events will also run on Thursday evenings as part of “Thursday Lates” to supplement their regular exhibition schedule, with a range of workshops, tours and talks aiming to heighten your experience of the exhibition and give more people a chance to engage with the art.

Join us at 6pm on Thursday July 17th for ROOTING 4 U, a workshop facilitated by Léann Herlihy and Laura O’Connor which centres the transformative potential of collective support. Springboarding off the artists’ socio-political exploration of cheer through mascots and colour guards, ROOTING 4 U will resist the flatness of high pitch empty jeers in favour of a rallying cry in which a more equitable world is not only imagined but sustained.

This workshop is open to people who are 16+ years old

Spaces are limited, please book HERE in advance
