A new mosaic connecting art and science has been unveiled at Ballybane Library to celebrate the mysteries of the brain

The mosaic was unveiled recently by Deputy Mayor, Independent Councillor Donal Lyons at Ballybane Library.

Intertwined – Mosaics of the Community Brain is a community based project between CÚRAM, the SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices based at University of Galway, Ballybane Library, Galway Community College and artist Alison Mac Cormaic, and

The project is part of a new Horizon-funded EU project entitled STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) Learning Ecologies.

This aims to develop open schooling models in community settings and is working towards that goal in Galway.

The mosaic focusing on the science of the brain is based in Ballybane’ newly refurbished Maker’s Space and is open to the public to view.
