Book Tickets

These special workshops are for families with children aged 6+. Join us at VISUAL to take a tour of the exhibition and make your own artworks in response. Each workshop will be a little different, exploring a new artistic process each week. Children and their adults will be invited to collaborate on artworks to produce portraits and fantastical drawings and paintings together. These creative workshops are led by artists and aim to give you time to make art, have fun and play together as a family in the galleries.

Please note: Children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop.

Tickets can be purchased online, in person or over the phone at Box Office. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. Wheelchair users and any group over 8 persons should book tickets directly through Box Office. Further Terms and Conditions can be found at visualcarlow.ie/visit/booking-information.
