Cruinniú na nÓg events – all you need to know!

Details of this year’s Cruin- niú na nÓg were announced recently in Roscommon Arts Centre by Cllr. Tom Crosby (Cathaoirleach of Roscommon County Council) and Roscommon’s Cruinniú Ambassadors George and Isaac Naughton, together with members of Roscommon County Youth Theatre.

The event, a day of free creativity for young people, will take place on Saturday, June 10th. Events will take place across seven locations featuring theatre workshops, exhibitions, workshops, music and dance.

One of the highlights will be an exhibition of stained glass artwork entitled ‘The Light in Archie’s Eyes’ in memory of Archie Naughton, whose brave battle with illness touched the hearts of so many people. This exhibition is created by artist Colette Langan in collaboration with the many school, team and fundraising friends who had the privilege of knowing the late Archie and his brothers Isaac and George. This exhibition is a fitting tribute to Archie’s short life, yet enduring legacy, and will be hosted by Roscommon Arts Centre from 2 pm that day. A wide range of outdoor events are scheduled for the official opening of the

Somers Park Performance Space in Castlerea including music for young children with Kyle Riley, circus skills, art projections, a live animation screening, and performances of excerpts from the County Roscommon Youth Theatre’s recent production of Romeo and Juliet.

On the day there will also be the completion of a wall mural by Roscommon Young Carers with artists Siobhan Cox Carlos and Emily Benninghove-Cudd in Castlerea Swimming Pool, concluding with performances by the Music Generation Roscommon Youth Band.
