Burning Bright


All-Ireland champion Sean-nós dancer Emma O’Sullivan, one of Galway’s most-loved street performers, joined by Stephen Murphy of St Francis Day Care Centre during her performance at Burning Bright, Galway Arts Centre’s programme for older people.

Burning Bright is temporarily paused, but we hope to begin this programme again in the future.

If you, an older person you know or a care service provider are interested in this programme please get in touch by emailing info@galwayartscentre.ie.

Burning Bright’s past programmes were developed in partnership with and supported by Galway City Council and the Arts Council of Ireland. Many programmes worked  in collaboration with the Bealtaine Festival, the national arts festival celebrating creativity as we age.

Past projects include The Charms of Mervue facilitated by artist Louise Manifold in Sonas Day Centre Mervue, Happy Geometry facilitated by artist Amantine Dahan in St. Francis Day Care Centre and Hospitality facilitated by artist Cliona Ryan in Croí na Gaillimhe.
