Cork and Kerry County Council team up for ‘Make or Break’ Programme for local Businesses

 

Cork County Council Library and Arts Service, in collaboration with Kerry County Arts Service, HSE Southwest and The Crawford Art Gallery are calling for local businesses to take part in an exciting new programme, ‘Make Or Break’ Pilot Creative Health and Wellbeing Programme. Developed as part of the Cork County Council Creative Ireland programme in 2023, this initiative aims to enhance employee wellbeing through free creative workshops offered during workplace break times with local artists. The programme is now being extended to workplaces in the Cork / Kerry region, funded by Creative Ireland through the Creative Health and Wellbeing Scheme.

The ‘Make Or Break’ programme invites workplaces in Cork County and Kerry to participate, offering employees the opportunity to engage in new and fun creative activities facilitated by professional artists, suitable for all abilities. Designed to be both enjoyable and relaxing, the central focus of the programme is to offer employees the chance to get creative and to promote mental wellbeing, contributing to a positive workplace environment. Participants can explore a range of workshops including Printmaking, Drawing, Clay Sculpting, Embroidery, and Bookbinding to name but a few, and participants can select up to two topics to delve into over a 6 week programme of lunchtime sessions.

Creative Ireland was established in 2017, inspired by the extraordinary public engagement with culture-based activities during the 1916 Easter Rising Centenary Commemorations. Supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Creative Ireland are committed to allowing all people of Ireland to benefit from culture and the arts and realise their full creative potential.

Cork County Culture Night Returns on Friday 20th September 2024

 

Communities around Cork County are gearing up for an exciting Culture Night 2024, with over 120 free events taking place in their localities on Friday 20th September. From Abba in ancient castles, to DJs beside the sea and music and dancing in the streets, this year’s programme promises to be one of the most exciting yet. Celebrating 19 years in 2024, Culture Night Cork County is coordinated by Cork County Council and funded by the Arts Council. It’s a chance to celebrate Cork’s artistic, cultural, and thriving creative communities.

Following last year’s tremendous success with an estimated 16,000 people engaging with events across the county, Culture Night Cork County 2024 offers an array of diverse options including events created by and for young people, opportunities to speak and sing in Irish, showcases of international culture and traditions, shows by well-known performers, and everything in between.

This year’s programme celebrates the diverse cultures that can be found in all corners of the county. In Bandon, the Ukrainian community presents a Flower Crown Workshop as well as showcasing their traditional heritage, young people and adults are welcome. Clonakilty hosts Raise Your Voices, the debut of the new Clonakilty Gospel Choir performing some old favourites. The now annual Carrigalive in Carrigaline focuses on the town’s multicultural population this year, with youth bands, a senior men’s choir, Irish dancers, a Pipe band, and music and dance from traditional Irish to Indian styles. At Gadaí Dubh Books in Baile Bhuirne, all ages are invited to Stroll-in Ceol to enjoy a session featuring music, song, dance and Irish language poetry.

As part of the new Culture Night Late initiative and supported by Cork County Council, the Electronic Music Council are taking over Cobh with Cruthú Cois Farraige (Creation by the Sea), four high energy and inclusive events taking place in Sirius Arts Centre, The Quays Entertainment, The Commodore Hotel, and a boat that sets sail from Cobh Harbour. Cruthú Cois Farraige (Creation by the Sea)  is a unique event where creativity meets education and celebration. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about electronic music sound, equipment, and vinyl through hands-on workshops. Way of the West x Connolly’s Of Leap also presents a late night opportunity to dance, with headliner Darren Emerson joined by local and international talent in electronic music.

Just some of the other highlights to look forward to include:

-    Waisted - The Culture of Food - A photo exhibition by Thady Trá that celebrates 'ugly' food that questions the way we consume and value our veggies. Part of a year-long effort in Clonakilty called 'Waste Not, Want Not' and co-hosted by VOICE Ireland at the Green Dot Cafe

The successful projects include;
