Behind the Scenes of the Creative Places Tuam Gathering weekend. We loved welcoming so many to the Mall for Little John Nee’s Nettle Horse, which closed out our Gathering weekend, marking the culmination of the four year Creative Places Tuam pilot programme. We look forward to seeing how the programme evolves!
Our archive, and leaving a record of our work, is so important to us – check out how we built our archive in Tuam with local artists and residents. You can see the full archive in the Tuam library any time.

“Patching Tuam” was a textile art project for young people in Tuam. Local textile artist Kathy Ross showed the attendees how to use techniques such as drawing and painting, collage, applique and hand and machine embroidery to create Punk Patches displaying their social, political and personal viewpoints and their sense of place.
