Take Me to the River 2026 - Visual and Sensory Arts Programme

What to Expect

Take Me to the River is a collaborative, visual and sensory response to the waterways and landscapes of County Meath, produced by Solstice Arts Centre. The 2026 programme brings communities, families, and arts and ecology enthusiasts to specific natural sites for activities including foraging, ecological surveying, traditional crafts, experimental ink and collage, interactive storytelling and river-life exploration. Each event is site-specific and led by artists and environmental practitioners.
