Making Waves with Creative Places Balbriggan
Join Creative Places Balbriggan and Fingal Arts Office at Ardgillan Castle for the launch of Making Waves, a new seed funding initiative supporting 11 local
artists to collaborate with community groups across Balbriggan through a range of socially engaged arts projects and creative programmes from September
2026 to February 2027.
Ages: 12+: A free shuttle bus will depart from
George’s Square, Balbriggan at 5:30 pm to Ardgillan
Castle and will return to the Square after the event.
Meet the artists and participants, enjoy music, demonstrations, and conversation, and learn more about the exciting creative journey that will unfold in the months ahead. The evening also offers a unique opportunity to explore the artist studios within Ardgillan Castle and meet a number of new artists who have recently joined our creative community.
Working alongside our established resident artists, they represent an inspiring range of disciplines including ceramics, painting, illustration, textiles, sculpture, and mixed media. Wander through the castle’s corridors, discover creative hubs filled with live music and artistic activity, meet the makers, watch demonstrations, and learn more about their practices. There is no better place to celebrate culture than within the beautiful and historic surroundings of Ardgillan Castle.
