The Wild Within
by New Wave Wild Project
Exhibition Dates: 16th May - 20th June 2026.
This May, New Wave Wild Project returns to Siamsa Tíre with The Wild Within, an inspiring exhibition and workshop series celebrating the therapeutic power of nature and our human connection to the natural world.
Now in its third year, this expanded creative programme builds on the success of the A Wave of Change events in 2024 and 2025. For 2026, New Wave Wild Project will present a dynamic showcase of visual art, educational talks, hands-on workshops, and an online auction—all exploring themes of grounding, connection, emotional wellbeing, and the creation of safe spaces through nature.
New Wave Wild Project is a local non-profit providing clinical adventure therapy for young people, adults, families, and community groups. Their work blends evidence-based therapeutic practice with intentional outdoor experiences. The Wild Within brings together artists, educators, and experiential therapeutic practitioners to illuminate the powerful intersection between art, nature, and healing.
The exhibition is free and open to all, offering a welcoming space for exploration, reflection, and creative engagement.
We invite you to join us in celebrating this unique journey into The Wild Within.

July - Aug 2026
Upcoming Exhibition:
'On the Edge and In-Between'
by James Hayes
Exhibition Dates: 2nd July - 1st Aug 2026.
An exhibition of artwork reflecting six months living and working as the Caretaker of the Great Blasket Island, with the objective of expressing the contemporary life of the island that has not yet found visual expression.
In these paintings Hayes brings to bear his longstanding exploration of the relationship between self and surroundings upon a unique context. The work examines the relationship between the past and the present on the island, the nature of ‘islandness’; the ‘sense of place’ of islands more generally and their distinctly liminal nature. In his re-presentations of contemporary island life he has painted what he encountered with honesty and sincerity, suspending some of the more persistent binary preconceptions and metaphors about islands with a view to creating a more nuanced picture that might challenge and re-contextualise them.
His aim was to best capture an expanded sense-of-place and communicate the islands' complex phenomenological reality; its specific spatiality and temporality. https://www.theliminalpage.com/
