Riverbank Arts Centre welcomes a new exhibition for children, showcasing the breadth of talent in contemporary Irish illustration, while retelling the story of Samhain (Halloween) for a new generation.
Two siblings get lost in the woods. There they meet a mysterious traveller and embark on an adventure that sees them encountering a cheeky púca, some lost souls, and a choir of banshees…
This is a story of Halloween as told by children’s writer Olivia Hope.
Originally commissioned by Siamsa Tíre, this exhibition will delight children and their families as well as those of us who are still children at heart. As the days grow short this Autumn, find some light and magic at the Samhain exhibition, and explore the true meaning of this Celtic festival.
