Opens Thurs 26 March 7pm. Runs until Sun 26 April. Additional events tbc.

Generation is a public participation project with GASP (Glasheen Art Studio Program). The project invited people of varying ages to create works on the subject of age; the work of both children and older people will be presented together, portraying the curiosity and magic of childhood through to the experience of those in later years. The project provides opportunities for people from different generations to meet, interact and support each other’s creative process. The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of activities and workshops that will focus on process and build on this interaction. Generation is in collaboration with St Luke’s nursing home in Cork and Cork Educate Together National School.

GASP (Glasheen Art Studio Program) is developed through the COPE Foundations' Arts Programme and is directed by Hermann Marbe.
