The Cathaoirleach’s Creative Citizenship Award aims to highlight the diversity of arts, culture and heritage in County Roscommon. This year’s competition responds to the visual arts curriculum in the form of a Local Heroes Rock Art Project,
Students were invited to create art pieces responding to the theme ‘Local Heroes’ using small rocks or stones to be part of their School’s Rock Art Trail.
Students were asked to work together to form the School’s Rock Art Trail – and were encouraged to place it in their community – on the routes used by people locally for their 5k walks, so that many people could enjoy the creativity and brightness in the local spot.That’s exactly what Kilteevan National School did. They prepared their Rock Art Trail and much to our delight they placed it, in a prominent position under a Hawthorn Tree on the Cloonlarge Loop. Its well worth a visit.
The Local Heroes Rock Art Trails will be fully created in time for Cruinniú na nÓg, Ireland’s national day of creative activity for children and young people – and entire families, which will take place on Saturday 12th June.
The Awards will be announced/presented by Cathaoirleach Cllr. Laurence Fallon on Friday 11th June. Listings of all of the Rock Art Trails will feature in Roscommon County Council’s Cruinniú na nÓg programme so that they can be enjoyed by all (adhering to Covid restrictions).
