Info

We are delighted to share images from our School's Programme activity for Dura, a solo exhibition by artist Carraí MacCormac.

Artist Educator Sinéad Smyth devised and delivered a creative activity for P.3–P.5 school children from local primary schools. Materials, form and process were thought about and tested during the workshops held in CCA. Children considered how a 2D flat object could be shaped by hand to become a 3D object. They used textile, paper, mod-roc, card and tissue to make a range of 3D forms. Thank you to all our school children and teachers for visiting the gallery.

About Sinéad Smyth

Sinéad Smyth is an artist from Inishowen - the most northerly peninsula in Donegal, Ireland. Her paintings explore landscapes and seascapes as places of memory, connection and a nurturing influence on being human.

Sinéad has also transformed a run-down 200 year old cottage into her studio and an artists’ residency, where she now runs regular painting and creative development courses.

Sinéad is self-taught, painting and drawing since she was very young. She has spent time studying and working with several professional artists and art bodies through artist development courses and events with the RUA, the North-West College, the Regional Cultural Centre and Artlink. She is an invited member of The Drawing Box International and a professional member of Visual Artists Ireland. She took over CCA's Project Space, as part of Testing Ground in September 2024.
