Sparkcatchers! is set to present Tiny Mutiny ‘25, a free family-friendly arts event showcasing the creative talents of young artists from across County Galway.
The event forms part of this year’s Clifden Arts Festival and celebrates the next generation of filmmakers, musicians, dancers, writers and animators.
Tiny Mutiny ‘25 highlights the achievements of teenagers recognised through the Tiny Mutiny Project Awards and First Sparks Bursaries.
The production provides a platform for young artists to shine, offering both stage and screen opportunities to present their work to the public.
The event features a stop motion animation by Dean Oates, live music from singer-songwriter Millie Ross, a reading by writer and illustrator Aiobhín-Lily Ralph, and a comedy film from Bog Standard Films, the creative team of Colm O’Neill, Conor O’Brien, Luca Newell and Connor Gurney.
Digital animator Michelle Jennings and contemporary dancer Amy Lazor will share works in progress developed through their First Sparks Bursaries.
The programme concludes with a panel discussion where the young artists and their mentors reflect on their creative journeys over the four-month Tiny Mutiny programme.
Now in its second year, Tiny Mutiny continues to nurture young talent across County Galway, offering mentorship from professional artists and helping participants to explore, develop and realise their creative ambitions.
The project is commissioned by Galway County Council Arts Office in partnership with Sparkcatchers! and supported by Galway County Council and The Arts Council.
Admission is free and this will all take place on Saturday, September 20 in The Town Hall, Clifden at 4pm.
