Exhibition by Hartstown students: As part of the pilot Artist in Residence scheme run by Fingal Arts Office, acclaimed artist Alan Mongey has been working with first year students at Hartstown Community school and introducing them to a variety of creative techniques. The end product of this innovative collaboration will be seen next Monday when the students’ work will be exhibited at Blanchardstown Library.
