We are delighted to present an online programme free of charge over the Christmas season. A selection of Sligo-based artists and performers will connect with audiences through a very special winter edition of Featherheads and Dreamers. At the same time we are excited to share the work of Sligo’s youngest artists, who helped us put together new creative activities for children to enjoy over the holidays.

Featherheads and Dreamers returns with a very special evening of performances by Julianna Holland, Steve Wickham, Alice Lyons, Ruth Clinton & Cormac McDiarmada, as well as visual art contributions from Judith Cornwell, James Kelly, Anita McGarry, Dominic Corrigan and David Fahey. Curated by The Model’s Music & Events Programmer Patrick Karl Curley. Tune in on Facebook or Youtube on Wednesday, 30 December at 8pm

Entries to The Model’s recent Landmarks of Sligo drawing competition form part of a series of children’s activities, alongside specially commissioned drawings by Strandhill-based artist Shannon Re. Families will be able to download the entire suite of drawings as colouring activities with a special Sligo twist. A perfect way to keep the little ones busy with creative fun over the holidays!
