A special selection from the internationally acclaimed HeART of Gaza exhibition will be on display, featuring powerful artworks by Gaza's youngest residents. Also, at the Ballina Arts Centre on the same day, you can view the incredible 305-metre-long Granny Squares for Gaza installation, a heartfelt expression of solidarity and friendship with the people of Gaza.
This is a chance to demonstrate that Ireland truly is the land of saints, scholars, and the céad míle fáilte. Solidarity begins with understanding and empathy, and Mayo has a proud tradition of both.
Everyone is warmly invited to come along while admission is free.
