Exhibition

Opening Hours: 12pm - 5pm
A close look at revitalising church buildings and their curtilage; an exhibition of architectural drawings and models along with crios-weaving workshops St. John's Church, Ballinasloe, and a felting workshop and talk at the Mick Lally theatre.
An exhibition at St. John's Church during the Ballinasloe Horse Fair exploring the adaptive reuse of two historic sites in East Galway, St. John's and Holy Trinity Church, Aughrim, through craft and the use of sustainable timber structures. The exhibition features architectural drawings and scale models created by young architects collaborating between Ireland and Belgium, building on their engagement with these places and their communities during last year’s festival. In addition, there will be three hands-on crios-weaving workshops, offering participants the chance to engage directly with traditional crafts while reflecting on the themes of heritage and community.
At the Mick Lally Theatre, there will be a felting workshop, followed by a talk presenting the work of the Faith in the Future project so far.
