Last Monday, we were delighted to welcome Dominic Campbell from the Irish Hospice Foundation to Súil Gallery for an inspiring session on Arts and Cultural Engagement with Clare artists and creative facilitators.

This meaningful conversation marks the beginning of a three-day professional development programme, where participants will explore and develop creative projects around themes of grief, dying, death and bereavement.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed such thoughtful insights.
