“MITCHELSTOWN MY PLACE”
The Creative Arts Stag Park Community Children’s Programme has been running in Stag
Park community house during the month of September.
This is an initiative of Ballyhoura Development through funding received from The
Creative Ireland County Cork Grant Scheme 2019 and Cork County Council’s Culture Team.
During the month of September, the children attending the programme visited historic
buildings in Mitchelstown. Through group work, field trips, creative thinking and active
discussions they learnt about the history of Mitchelstown.
Following each session, the children reflected on their favourite places in
Mitchelstown. “Mitchelstown my place” was the key theme behind this programme.
Each week the children created and added to their creative mind maps and Sketch
books. Expressing their experiences of the historical places they visited. Through
different mediums such as pencils, charcoal, pastels and paints.
The children have enjoyed the programme immensely to date, with lots of laughter
heard coming from the community house over the past few weeks. This is a
testament to the programme support team Ballyhoura Beo and the children who
participated.
To showcase the children’s collection of amazing art work. A launch exhibition will be held in
Mitchelstown library on Friday 27 th at 3pm with refreshments.
All are welcome to attend and support!!
The exhibition will continue to be on joint display with The Social Hub creative art work
