Get ready to cut, tear, glue, and celebrate! The Connacht Collage Collective is turning one, and we’re marking the occasion with a Big Paper Paste Party in honour of World Collage Day. This extra special session is open to everyone — no matter your experience or skill level. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned pro, we invite you to come along and enjoy the simple pleasure of making.

For this birthday edition, DJ SIM Card will share some mood music while we create together.

“It is such a pleasure to celebrate the Connacht Collage Collective’s first birthday with a Big Paper Paste Party and on World Collage Day 2025 no less. It really has been a wonderful year of cutting, pasting and hosting this lovely community while watching it grow. So whether you are artistically established or creatively curious, please feel welcome to join us for our big celebration at the Linenhall Arts Centre. Here is to our future projects and meetings together!” Anthony D Kelly

World Collage Day is an annual, international celebration held on the second Saturday of May. Initiated by Kolaj Magazine, the day is a call for artists and venues around the world to celebrate collage — a medium that brings together disparate pieces to create something new. World Collage Day reminds us of the power of connection.

As Kolaj editor Ric Kasini Kadour says, “We created World Collage Day because we wanted to honour this community of artists and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation, mutual support, and creativity can look like.”

This is an adult workshop (18+), and everyone is welcome.

Help us celebrate the joy of collage and community. Let’s make together!

This monthly meeting is open to all regardless of your skills or experience.
One of the great strengths of collage is that it’s easy to pick up and very satisfying to explore. Another is that it lends itself to meeting new people and working together. So come along to learn, play, create and connect with collage as part of a supportive and welcoming artistic community.

Meetings will hosted by the internationally recognised collagist Anthony D Kelly. He will share techniques and exercises to help develop your collage practice and to have fun while engaging in the joy of making through this vibrant and varied medium.
