The 27th Baboró International Arts Festival for Children was launched at the weekend, and has been taking place across multiple Galway theatres and venues
Organisers say Baboró invites young people to embark on an adventure into the world of creativity "where there are no boundaries to imagination"
Australian artist, Jessica Wilson opened her creative exhibition of work 'I See You Like This' last Saturday, and it features the talents of some of Galway's own young artists.
Maisie Lee also opened 'The Shape of Quiet Feelings' which invites children to creatively express their feelings about climate change.
"Our aim is to provide a captivating and immersive experience that transforms children's ideas and dreams into myth-like stories and creatures." she said.
"Children aged 8 and over can explore the imaginative landscapes and stories born from the minds of Galway's youth"
‘The Shape of Quiet Feelings’ runs at Blue Teapot Theatre in Galway's Westend until this Sunday.
From Australia, Slingsby will perform ‘The Boy Who Talked to Dogs’ for audiences aged 12 and over - the first show is this Thursday and it will run for three nights.
It is based on a memoir by Martin McKenna and the performance is described as "a rough-and-tumble tale fusing shadow puppetry, live music, and physical performance, documenting a magical and mischievous tale of hardship, transformation, redemption, and what happens when the underdog finds his pack".
There are various free events taking place at Engage Art Studio in Salthill and Storytime at Charlie Byrne’s Bookshop.
