An origami bird decorating a shop window in Carndonagh

My mummy has just spent the last few weeks voluntarily organising an arts project in Carndonagh called Our Colours, Our Sounds.

The project aimed to promote and celebrate cultural diversity in Carndonagh, whilst creating a colourful, vibrant town centre – by getting local artists to decorate shop windows. Many of the shops around the Diamond had their window display enhanced by work from painters, scultors, milliners and others.

Events took place between 19th and 30th November too, with Egyptian Dance, poetry reading, art & photography exhibitions, storytelling and a world music night!

Folk seemed to really enjoy the injection of colour around the town during the drab and cold month of November. Will it happen again? We’ll see! It was a lot of hard work by mummy to get it going… I’m proud of her!
