In March 2020 when Ireland went into lockdown, Rachel MacManus decided to run an art competition for primary school children in Co Clare. The theme of the competition was My life at Home and the goal was for children to provide all the kids in Co Clare another outlet to express themselves at that time.
As the work accumulated, Rachel realised she had something very special on her hands! Here was a body of work with cultural significance, made by the young residents of County Clare, about living in County Clare during a historical time, in unprecedented circumstances. These drawings are now on display in Glór until October for everyone to see!
On Friday’s Morning Focus, Gavin Grace spoke to Rachel MacManus about the exhibition.
