Take A Part Carlow has worked in the Tullow Road area of Carlow, an area of designated disadvantage for the past six years. Take A Part Carlow has now reached a pivotal point in its development as it embarks on the launch of a four year strategic development plan. As we move forward towards a new developmental phase, we intend to build on our core values, working from a ground up approach, to continue to improve access to the arts and creativity in the Tullow Road area. In advance of the strategy launch, Take A Part Carlow will commission artists Kate O’Shea and Aoife Barrett to work with harder to reach young people from the Tullow Road area through Youth Reach Carlow. Kate and Aoife will work with the young people to design and create a Cozy Collective – a space designed and printed on soft furnishings but with strong statements of intent from the young people – the space will be unveiled as the launch venue for our strategic development plan.
